lalxta 's review for:
Territory of Light
by Yūko Tsushima
reflective
medium-paced
this is for my own record—
i love this book to pieces. i felt so serene reading it, and will definitely visit again.
reading this felt like being immersed in a cool pool of water, surrounded by beads and flashes of light. unobtrusive but demanding luminosity. i had been thinking about my mother a lot that month, and of motherhood in general too. i've always been able to express my aversion to the idea of becoming a mother pretty easily but i feel like i understood the crushing severity of entering into that relation much more clearly as a result of this book. loss of self, development of self. it's staggering. i can't decenter myself like that. nor can the protagonist. idk as somber as it is it really felt like taking little sips of warm, gentle light and sitting together on some tatami.
