encountering an author that writes with such honesty is rare — Annie exposes every intimate detail of her years long affair without ever feeling the need to rationalize her feelings or why this experience was so impactful/all consuming. she dives headfirst into grief and loss to the same degree as she describes feelings of passion and love, reflecting on the necessity of one to have the other. towards the end you can’t help but feel gratitude for the way we are able to experience such intense depths of emotion, as she closes with “luxury [is not] fur coats, evening dresses, and villas by the sea… it is being able to live out a passion for a man or a woman.”
I know it was short but I really didn’t like it 🤷

This is an uncomfortable, infuriatingly honest account of an affair that grapples with the nature of writing. I have often read that real people must be made fictional in order to be written about. Now I feel that through writing, fictional people can also be made heart-wrenchingly real. This is a crazy little story of love and grief. “I wondered what was the difference between this past reality and literature”

Salgo de este libro con la cara enrojecida, temerosa de voltear a mi pasado o que una pasión así se me vuelva a cruzar. Sorry mot sorry. Increíblemente escrito, duro y certero.
Como escritora este libro conectó mucho conmigo, siento que tenía escritas muchos de los pensamientos que tengo a la hora de escribir y por eso le doy he dado un gran valor, pude conectar frases con mi propio libro
Siento que más que un libro sobre “la pasión” , el “amor”, la obsesión para mi fue un libro sobre cómo procesa el sentir está naturaleza de escritores.
