“That’s what I love about Bernhard in the book. He manages to simulate consciousness, and it’s contagious because while you’re reading it rubs off on you and your mind starts working like that for a while. I love that. That reverberation for me is what is most important about literature.”
I just finished reading this, and my heart is still beating. Can a book be perfect? This one is. It feels so close to my consciousness, reverberating.
I know I’ll read this again because it was an inspiration and a masterclass; because I read it so quickly that sometimes my eyes blurred; because I had to keep the parts about her mom dying at a safe distance.
