When I read the first few pages, I felt so out of touch with this book.
It seemed like Lang and I were not in the same page anymore, just like we did in her previous books.
But the more I read, the more I discovered that “hey, we’re still on the same page!”
Lang was and still, has a way with words.
I found bits and pieces of myself here and there, in between the pages, sitting side by side between the words and syllables.
As I soaked up all of her words, I couldn’t help but let my mind wandered around, replaying the memories I shared with that one person like a broken record.
I couldn’t help but only thought of that one person.
Here’s my favourite part from the book:
“I thought of how every living thing dies alone. And I wondered if it was better to grasp the meaning of loss while I still had everything to lose. Or if I would prefer loss remain incomprehensible up until the aftermath.”
——
“You believed your understanding of me to be absolute when you had barely scratched the surface. There were times I peeled back the layers of skin, but I caught a glimpse of your disgust at each interval, felt reduced by your summation of me in those moments, felt myself retreating from you like a wounded animal.”
——
“You haven’t said a word to me in such a long while —
Why?
I am waiting for things to pass
Such as?
Such as my hurt
Such as your memory of me
Such as time”
