watched the movie back in high school and it is a shame i hadn't gotten around to actually reading this until now!!!! the writing is so beautiful and evocative of this honey sickly delirium rotting the neighbourhood from the inside out — much to unpack and peel back. i want to return to this sometime to look more at the developing labour and class issues that kept flitting by in the periphery.
and again, probably not the best place to say this, but i wish i had a sister.
