E, ovo je Sali Runi kakvu hoću!
Odlično!

Stvarno se nadam da će joj naredne knjige biti ovako "zrele" (mrzim ovaj termin, ali jedini prenosi ono što sam htela da kažem).

All the feelings of sadness… “What you’re feeling is okay.” But could someone explain this cover?

Subject is kind of weird. I didn't expect to like this... but Rooney's writing... I love. Like I wish this was a full book instead of a short story honestly. It was good!

Well, this one I didn't like so much.

I could relate to the feeling of emptiness and being dependent on other people to fill that emptiness.

But I don't quite know that this story is for me, it felt awfully plain.

se devia ter utilizado o furo que tive a história para estudar memória? sim.
fiz isso? não. no entanto, não me arrependo, ler isto foi muito mais interessante e acho que até gostei mais deste do que do mr. salary.

I'm surprised because this one feels like something Ottessa Moshfegh could write ?
So that was pretty good
But also pretty weird

She somehow makes me question the morality of a lot of things!
I'm so in love with the way she tells the story and describes everything. She makes me charmed by what I would have found disgusting had it was written by any other writer!

“I told her I felt empty and she said that since childhood I had always looked for external factors to validate my pre-existing feelings of emptiness. But it’s okay to feel empty, she told me.”


I didn’t expect to read two stories of age-gap relationships in one night, I did not even expect this Miss Sally Rooney but still I’m impressed.

Surprisingly in a way, I quite relate to Miriam in terms of feeling nothing is ever enough. As if, something is always missing, something that will never properly fit into my puzzle no matter how many times I tried, and I don’t think any pieces will ever fit that one mysterious hole in my puzzle EVER.

I find the relationship between Miriam and Evan quite weird personally, however, it is the way it was meant to be written. Complicated relationships. Sally Rooney definitely loves this theme alright and good for her, because her and only her do I fully trust when it comes to depicting complicated, realistic, life-like relationships in writings. LMAO WBK I’M A CLOWN OKAY, ANYTHING SALLY ROONEY PUT OUT I WILL LOVE.

Concord 34 is a short story about complicated, messy and wrong relationships, the constant feeling of emptiness, and simply a story of figuring what you want especially when it comes to transitioning from your teenage era to your early twenties or adulthood. If this is something that you’d like to read or get an insight of, definitely give this short story a read. You can read it on The Dublin Review’s website, link attached below.
