gglazer 's review for:
The Folded World
by Amity Gaige
Loooooooooved this. Gaige takes an ordinary story about ordinary lives -- neglected woman, golden-boy guy, chance meeting on the street, falling in love, twin baby girls -- and turns it into something utterly beautiful by the sheer force of language and passion.
My favorite passage: "... that the universe was treacherous only in that it would outlast you, and knew your death and slowly breathed you in your whole life, but that despite all this, there were small ruins all over the territory, the posts and beams of people who built there regardless, on fog, on blackness, on starlight, houses in which they were safe merely by being in them together."
