The Beautiful Room Is Empty by Edmund White
5.0
“The idea that he might like me radically revised my version of who we were.”
Stunning examination of one’s self, from slowly learning that curiosity is a double-edged sword that you need to learn how to use. Evidently it all falls apart, but if you hold it just right and use it to your advantage, you’ll learn that it can be a weapon of your desire. When one learns to come out of their shell, one tends to be vulnerable, inquisitive, and hungry. These are all valid feelings to have, but to what end? What would you do when one’s feelings will have to be confronted someday? And what would these feelings evolve to when you’ve grown out of it? Would it transformed into something palatable or confrontational? These all are the feelings that I’m feeling now.
