I need to take a literature class before I read more modernist novels. Definitely very poetry-inspired prose.

I bemoan them most under sheets at night when their eyes rimmed with masculinity see nothing and their lymphlips are smothered by the irondomed sky.
this is a fascinating book but I truly could not tell you what is going on for most of it. the writing is very "of it's time" which is to say confusing and often outdated. still, I found myself highlighting a lot of beautiful lines and re-reading passages to gain a better understanding. the way these men interact with each other is horrible and beautiful. fans of queer history will want to read this as it is definitely a significant book, if not necessarily a great one.
