creation is futile. art will never illustrate a thought, an experience, a person accurately -- but it's equally as useless not to try. someone will know. someone will connect. art is a mirror.

only got to ~80 pages in before i couldn't anymore, which is maybe the point? the only point i can really discern thus far. the whole "let's make a grocery list of all the worst garbage we can do to women and execute it" eli rothian line of writing is just vapid and borderline fetishy. i have laundry to fold, anyway. i want to fold laundry more than i want to read this.
