feeling like i just read insight into my own biography (minus her racism but i mean in terms of being a queer writer in nyc and partying and kissing girls and being a piece of shit). fuck i love documenting life <3

This is a substantial page count, but queer history is kinda most comprehensively documented through crime, and it’s so refreshing to read pages of its happenstance crap. Letterwriting! Vintage workwear! “Darling”! Etc. Etc..

Patricia Highsmith was inherently an imperfect weirdo but she diaried phenomenally and it was a pleasure to invade her privacy
