Depression is like a bruise that never goes away. A bruise in your mind. You just got to be careful not to touch it where it hurts. It's always there, though.

"With his vacation tan Trip must have looked much as he did in late summer, circulating in his swimming pool, his nipples like two pink cherries embedded in brown sugar." ~ (This post is what happens when I see pink cherries at the supermarket 🍒. A couple of years ago I read this five-star book and did a post similar to this one for the amusement of @books.and.blankets and @bibliobimbo. I was never happy with it because cherries were not in season at the time and I couldn't find pink ones. I'm tagging you all for a #bookishpictureretake challenge: to redo an old post you were never happy with for whatever reason.) . #🍒#tripfontaine #thevirginsuicides #jeffreyeugenides #foodinbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2Dnb8gKW2/?igshid=1cij849utcd2x

500 e passa pagine in una lingua che non è la mia, scritte fisse, ed ecco che, per credo 10 anni o giù di lì, questo libro è rimasto, nella mia libreria, sullo scaffale dei "da leggere". Aproffittando dello stop forzato, che mi ha riempita di tempo libero, mi sono detta che era ora di affrontarlo, ed ho scoperto 2 cose :1)in inglese ormai leggo spedita quanto in italiano, o quasi 🤟🤟 2)che mi ero persa una storia favolosa che, per spiegarci perché Calliope/Cal possieda un gene recessivo, che le dà caratteristiche di entrambe i sessi, parte da quel paesino di montagna, in asia minore, dove i matrimoni tra parenti non sono così rari, per passare per la Detroit del proibizionismo dei suoi genitori;raccontata in prima persona in maniera assolutamente avvincente e autoironica, ci porta a scoprire, assieme a C., come spesso i genitori tendano a voler semplificare le cose, "normalizzarle" per modo di dire, in nome di una agognata tranquillità per sé e la propria prole. Ma la vita non è semplice, non è "normale", non è tranquilla. E quello che è importante, se ami qualcuno, è solo permettergli di essere se stesso. #libriletti #librilettidallamela #librilettidallamela2021 #middlesex #jeffreyeugenides #novel #romanzo #book #booklover #bookaddict #booksiread #libro #bookdragon #bookstagram #instabook #pulitzer #premiopulitzer #americanwriters #letteraturaamericana #narrativa https://www.instagram.com/p/CWV02CUsJJN/?utm_medium=tumblr

STUPIDITY QUOTE 3 OF 3 Sat, Sep 18, 2021 "In Madeleine's face was a stupidity Mitchell had never seen before. It was the stupidity of all normal people. It was the stupidity of the fortunate and the beautiful, of everybody who got what they wanted in life and so remained unremarkable." - Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot

The author #JeffreyEugenides is a master of building vivid worlds,complex characters,& plots that encompass so many different variables that somehow connect in the end. Reading his books will take you on a journey whether it’s through the suburbs of Detroit,a university town,or the islands of Greece,but the emotional impact that lingers behind is universal. #thevirginsuicides #themarriageplot #middlesex #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/COYFzzLBLTN/?utm_medium=tumblr

THE VIRGIN SUICIDES by Jeffrey Eugenides (2009 Picador edition) - Photograph: Justine Kurland @justine4good; Design: #HenrySeneYee - #jeffreyeugenides #justinekurland - Kurland’s new monograph #GirlPictures (Aperture 2020) is now available @aperturefnd. It reminded me that we collaborated on The #VirginSuicides 2009 edition. I asked if she had any images that would be appropriate for the cover. She sent me this image with her response: “hi henry, great... I loved that book, and actually read it the same time I was making the girl pictures. my favorite part, which was completely missing from the movie, was the hyperbolic fantasy life of girls imagined from the point of view of the boys, forever unknowable. for that, my strongest recommendation would be "the orchard." VOILA! https://www.instagram.com/p/CHiYUaLBQ01/?igshid=11bu2bu6fmpk4

“Cecilia, la pequeña —no tenía más que trece años—, fue la primera en hacer el viaje: se cortó las venas, como los estoicos, mientras tomaba un baño, y cuando la encontraron flotando en el agua teñida de color de rosa, con los ojos amarillos de los posesos y aquel cuerpecito que exhalaba olor a mujer madura, los sanitarios se llevaron un susto tan grande al verla en aquel estado de sosiego, que se quedaron clavados en el sitio, como mesmerizados.” Las vírgenes suicidas Jeffrey Eugenides The Virgin Suicides Traduce Roser Berdagué Edita @anagramaeditor #50anagrama . . . #libros #books #lecturas #leyendo #reading #lasvírgenessuicidas #thevirginsuicides #jeffreyeugenides #booklover #bookcover #bookphotography #bookstagram #bookshelf #booklife #bookadict #playmobilfeature #playmobilscenes #playmoscenes #planetaeris (en Planeta Eris) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvFYzBFg3O/?igshid=ibt5bhtq9jge

WAKE UP, PUBLISHERS. How many of you read that Jeffrey Eugenides story in The New Yorker this week? Three—count ‘em—gay sexual predators appear. Having struck a nerve with “Cat Person,” the magazine seems to have cynically decided (because they want buzz) to show that men can be victims, too—or at least straight men can. I winced when they ran Garth Greenwell’s story last year, in which the gay character gets dissed by a straight guy, then goes home and cuddles...a dog. Awwwww. What world are publishers living in? I have yet to read a story or novel in which the gay characters are in long-term relationships with other out gay men, or find real pleasure in their sexual lives—like, y’know, REAL gay men do. #rant #soapbox #gay #gaylife #gayliterature #jeffreyeugenides @newyorkermag #metoo #reading #story (at New York, New York)
