Autrice che è molto orgogliosa della sua scrittura lirica e sperimentale; che però evidentemente ha adoperato in altri libri, a meno che il bel vocabolario di cui sopra e qualche paragrafo senza punteggiatura siano da considerarsi scrittura lirica e/o sperimentale.
È un memoir, dunque non vorrei giudicare troppo i contenuti, ma una cosa mi sento di dirla: Yuknavitch mi sembra il tipo di persona che mi auguro di non incontrare mai nella vita. Non per quello che racconta in sé, ma per la sua totale mancanza di empatia e il suo rifiuto di prendersi la responsabilità delle proprie azioni. Non so che idea di sé volesse dare scrivendo questo libro, ma quello che ne ho tratto io è una conferma del fatto che la sofferenza non ti rende automaticamente una persona profonda o buona, né una brava autrice.
Unica nota positiva è che la parte iniziale sulla figlia e i momenti in cui ricorda l’ultimo saluto alla madre sono commoventi seppur sempre, beninteso, senza alcun valore letterario. Ho letto trafiletti che mi hanno suscitato la medesima reazione emotiva.

yuknavitch's memoir was unpredictable, traumatic, and reflective, all while being heartbreakingly poetic.
i have no words. she made us feel her emotions. the graphic descriptions of her experiences, and the ways in which she self sabotaged as a result of her childhood trauma was surreal.
read this book, but please PLEASE be careful. it is very heavy and personally, i found it a little triggering.
