peregrinette 's review for:
The Faces
by Tove Ditlevsen
“Reality disappeared behind her like someone on a railway platform as the train pulls away”—wow! A surreal whirlwind dip into a marvelously unstable mind. This was my first Ditlevsen and while I occasionally found her writing a little overwrought, I think some of the clunkiness can be attributed to translation. Either way, this was a fascinating short read full of incredible similes and jarring imagery. My fav sentence: “Hope moved like gentle, melodic sentences through her body where the terror had lain down to rest like a dog in its basket.” Like COME ON wow
