really though this is my favorite quote for satoru:
He is that sort of person—the kind who appears to have no boundaries at first, who you have to get to know incredibly well to understand that his guileless openness is in part a defense to protect the deeper, more closely guarded things about which he is almost pathologically private.  -  Gina Frangello, Blow Your House Down: A Story of Family, Feminism, and Treason.
because he does seem to have no boundaries.  he’s got no problem being in peoples personal space,  asking them personal questions.  he’ll answer pretty much anything  ( whether it’s with the truth or a little white lie,  well,  only he knows  -  )  that is asked of him.  he openly shares things that most people would probably not because he’s rather shameless.  and BECAUSE he comes across so open,  so positive and upbeat,  no one really feels the need to ask him things.  perhaps especially because he’s over the top.  he’s too much,  so why would anyone think he was anything otherwise?  it also makes me think about when the characters are asked in the extra about who is satoru and everyone responds by saying ‘an idiot’ ‘egotistical’ ‘a teacher’ and of course ‘the strongest’ :  but these things are all only surface deep.  they’re the things he lets others see.  who is satoru?  who is he actually?  so very few people know and...  even the ones who perhaps claim to know,  do they really?  or is he still the manufactured version of himself that’s permissible to show.  when the quote says  ‘closely guarded things about which he is almost pathologically private’ ,  it just strikes that cord that makes you go  ‘ah yes,  this is true’.  it’s a little sad i think but ultimately it’s how he lives his life and...  will continue to.

After all, who wants to live in a world where love is not enough? If love isn’t enough, what the hell is?

EXCITING NEWS: BLOW YOUR HOUSE DOWN IS OUT April 6!
Blow Your House Down is a powerful testimony about the ways our culture seeks to cage women in traditional narratives of self-sacrifice and erasure. Frangello uses her personal story to examine the place of women in contemporary society: the violence they experience, the rage they suppress, the ways their bodies often reveal what they cannot say aloud, and finally, what it means to transgress "being good" in order to save your own life.
“In this searing memoir...Frangello charts the spectacular highs and devastating lows of her midlife with extraordinary candor...This unapologetic account both moves and fascinates.” --Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Searingly honest and compulsively readable...uncompromisingly fearless in its candor, this memoir/feminist manifesto isa powerful account of a woman’s self-acceptance that deserves a place among the best literary memoirs of the last decade. Frangello’s groundbreaking testimony sets itself apart.”--Library Journal, starred review
“My bet for breakout of the year. The Chicagoan’s memoir takes on gender expectations and marital affairs in such a brutal, lacerating candor wonder who should play her in the movie.” --ChicagoTribune, Most Anticipated Book of 2021
“Raw, red-hot memoir...In this gutsy, dramatic feminist manifesto, Frangello recounts the cost of eschewing security to choose the utter necessity of love, of being more tomorrow than she is today.” --Booklist
Find this captivating memoir on Chicago Review of Books’ Must-Read list for April! https://chireviewofbooks.com/2021/04/01/12-must-read-books-for-april/

It was true—I didn’t want to be without him—but that didn’t preclude the fact that we both made me sick.

“Art cannot save anybody from anything,” wrote Gilbert Sorrentino
If I believe that art can, in fact, save us, over and over again, then does it follow that I risk the audacity of believing that you might be the very one who needs my words to save your life?

A Life in Men - Charlize Theron Developing TV Series for Netflix Based on Novel Starring Kristen Stewart and Riley Keough
Netflix has put in development "A Life in Men", A TV series based on the 2014 novel of same name by Gina Frangello. Here's the logline: The friendship between Mary and Nix had endured since childhood, a seemingly unbreakable bond, until the mid-1980s, when the two young women embarked on a summer vacation in Greece. It was a trip initiated by Nix, who had just learned that Mary had been diagnosed with a disease that would cut her life short and who was determined that it be the vacation of a lifetime. But by the time their visit to Greece was over, Nix had withdrawn from their friendship, and Mary had no idea why. Three years later, Nix is dead, and Mary returns to Europe to try to understand what went wrong. In the process she meets the first of many men that she will spend time with as she travels throughout the world. Through them she experiences not only a sexual awakening but a spiritual and emotional awakening that allows her to understand how the past and the future are connected and to appreciate the freedom to live life adventurously. Kristen Stewart (The Twilight Saga) and Riley Keough (The Girlfriend Experience) will portray the lead characters of Mary and Nix, though it has not been revealed who will portray which role. Per Prod Week, the show will be produced entirely in Europe. Charlize Theron (Mindhunter, Girlboss) will produce the series through her company Denver and Delilah Productions which is under an overall deal with Universal Cable Productions. Sarah Walker (Awkward, Santa Clarita Diet) will write.
