thunderspeaker 's review for:
Thrust
by Lidia Yuknavitch
I'm intrigued by books that mess with time and this one messed with time in a novel way for me. You get a kaleidoscope view of time and you're made to let go of certain understandings. Filled with wisdom from characters about sexism, the atrocity of climate change, colonialism, etc... I LOVE parts where nature and animals talk despairingly about humans, which is my favorite things about many books -we ought to be put in our places. Filled with a decent amount of sexual kinks, the book made me realize that I may be more prude than I thought (love when a book reveals to me something else)
Some of my top quotes are:
"if I can only exist as some dim object, inside an insipid story laid out for me before I was born by morons who need the stories of mothers and whores to keep the social house in order…then at the very least I am going to require my own fucking pen"
"Remember you can’t save anyone. Not me, not your brother, not your father, not the world. You can only move objects and people and stories around in time. Rearrangments. Like rebuilding meaning from falling-apart pieces"
