Aurelia, Aurélia: A Memoir by Kathryn Davis
5.0
gorgeous and delicate. engages with other texts in a way that feels both associative and intentional, improvised and inevitable. structurally unique in an understated way.
man. just really fuckin beautiful.
"And then the road bent left. 'I had seen people turn pale before, but I had never seen blood leave skin so thoroughly and so fast,' the book went on to say. I dreamed I was picking red flowers. To the right, a large tree of some kind beginning to leaf out, one gray asbestos wall of the general store visible behind it. We had just met. By summer the green Valvine advertisement no longer in view. The eyes staring fixedly without blinking. The scaling of the mountain of the elements. Place the wrist at the point between the eyebrows. The arm so thin as to be a line and then it was gone."
