if yearning was a book. the prose is so so beautiful, and the writing brings out this melancholy that i’ve been dying to read for such a long time. its very much a discussion on the meaning of love and i think its executed perfectly. my only complaint is that sometimes maria puder reads a bit like a manic pixie dream girl but i did enjoy her monologues and her character overall, i do think i also fell a bit in love with her while reading.

beautiful prose, like really truly some of the most beautifully introspective prose i've read in years. unfortunately, this still reads like an incel's 3am reddit post and i cannot get past raif efendi's listlessness, nor can i look past his very obvious hatred of women.

he did not love maria puder, he just wanted to own her.
