first two pages of the book consist of Eli complaining about their horses and manage to convey not only the trouble with the horses, but also Eli's situation, his relationship with his brother, their relationship with their employer, and Eli's attitude towards their lot in life. the central conflict of the book is presented in all its facets. In the form of a horse complaint.

#it's precise. it's targeted. and it does it gracefully. #it's like murderbot. but not like murderbot. but like murderbot in that the first pages tell you exactly what you're in for #the sisters brothers

If I had a nickle for every time Jake Gyllenhaal has been in a cow-boy adjacent film alongside an actor who gave a phenomenal performance as The Joker, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

i finished reading the sisters brothers and i just have to say eli sisters is sooo barry berkman coded (and his relationship with his brother charlie..... barry/fuches vibes) that it was like making me want to thrash about and gnaw on concrete. a man who is known for killing who makes a living killing people who is good at killing people does not want to kill anymore except for the fact that he will kill if he feels it is justified and he will go to great lengths to justify it and then theres this passage that made me want to cheer like it was the superbowl:

"my very center was beginning to expand, as it always did before violence, a toppled pot of black ink covering the frame of my mind, its contents ceaseless, unaccountably limitless. my flesh and scalp started to ring and tingle and i became someone other than myself, or i became my second self, and this person was highly pleased to be stepping from the murk and into the living world where he might do just as he wished. i felt at once both lust and disgrace and wondered, Why do i relish this reversal to animal? i began exhaling hotly through my nostrils, whereas Charlie was quiet and calm, and he made a gesture that i should also be quiet. he was used to corralling me like this, winding me up and corralling me into battle. shame, i thought. shame and blood and degradation."

LIIIIKKKKEEEEEE???????? ITS SO GOOD......... god im gonna be spending the rest of my life chasing the high of the character that is barry berkman huh

thinking about The Sisters Brothers and the graphic depictions of how horses were used as sacrificial lambs to America. working them til they collapsed, eating their meat, turning them into glue so the work can continue. even in death they are made useful in the ever growing American machine. devouring them and using them to devour the land. the opening chapter is titled Trouble with the Horses. the trouble being that Eli is stuck with an unsatisfactory horse, Tub, while his domineering brother gets the superior horse, Nimble. horses being symbols for freedom, masculinity, and American progress. Eli coming to care for Tub and to hate himself for hurting him only to keep Tub alive when the poor animal needs to be put out of his misery - prolonging his pain.

Is a Life Lived through Art Really Lived at All?

The questions posed in Patrick deWitt’s The Librarianist feel personal and existential

DeWitt has made a career out of bombastic protagonists—a pair of hitmen travelling across the Old West in The Sisters Brothers, a disgraced New York socialite and her son in French Exit. Bob, on the other hand, stands out precisely for his lack of noteworthiness. But his reclusiveness borders on the surreal. “He had no friends, per se,” deWitt writes on the book’s second page. “His phone did not ring, and he had no family, and if there was a knock on the door it was a solicitor; but this absence didn’t bother him, and he felt no craving for company.” Instead of its grand voyage or great romance, the central tension in The Librarianist arises from the ease with which Bob can retreat into made-up worlds as opposed to his lingering desire to connect with other people.

Also since ppl seem to care about when I review stuff:

I watched a film called The Sisters Brothers with Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal, and John C. Reilly and I enjoyed it! It's a little undercooked but for what it is--an adaptation of a novel about two brothers in the old West, involved in a contract to take out a man who might have found a revolutionary way to find gold--it's quite nice. It doesn't hurt that you don't really get true Westerns that often anymore. The brotherly relationship is well done and so is the acting, but for me the relationship dynamic between Gyllenhaal and Riz Ahmed's characters is the best part of the film. I won't spoil it but it makes the tragedy towards the end so much sadder given how close they become.

Be warned though it gets fucking graphic. If seeing an accurate portrayal of an amputation or being severely disfigured will mess you up, give this one a skip or look it up to see if it crosses your line.

I swear every time I read The Sisters Brothers it gets better

#The sisters brothers #First time: I wasn't expecting to actually like this book but I do #2nd time: this is actually really good #3rd time: this guy is some kind of storytelling mad scientist. Idk how he comes up with this stuff but there's nothing else quite like it #Tragically I didn't like his other books though
