“it's marvelous to know another person's entire literary canon by heart. it's like knowing their secret personal language.”

mothers, lovers, friends, and fools all seeking that small, indiscernible missing  thing in their lives - none of them realize that, as mina says, the whole world is split open like a peach for them and all they have to do is reach.

but the florida heat drags on and on and on. it gets into your bones, breeds insanity and leaves you with an insatiable desire to fuck it all up. 

absolutely loved dogs go wolf, eyewall, for the god of love, for the love of god, above and below, and yport!

Exquisitely wrought tales, but on the depressing side.
