Fuck Yeah The Price of Salt

And she did not have to ask if this were right, no one had to tell her, because this could not have been more right or perfect.

Afterword to the 1984 Naiad Press edition ofThe Price of Salt, Patricia Highsmith writing as Claire Morgan.

You ask if I miss you. I think of your voice, your hands, and your eyes when you look straight into mine. I remember your courage that I hadn’t suspected, and it gives me courage.

Dannie: So which one of you is the sodium cation and which one is the chloride anion?

Therese: What?

Dannie: I mean, who's the one that *gives* the electron and who's the one that *takes* it?

Therese: Excuse me?

Dannie: You're right, how you and Carol fill each other's valence shells *is* none of my business.

Carol: Well Therese, did it hurt?

Therese: Did what hurt?

Abby: 'mo don't do it

Carol: When you were flung out of space.

Abby: oh my god

…the gray eyes calm as she had never seen them, as if they retained some of the space she had just emerged from.

How much is the salt?” Therese asked. “Oh, it’s free,” Carol told her. “Salt is always free for lesbians.” “Oh, is it?” Therese said. “I had no idea.” The private investigator following them felt so stricken with guilt for getting involved in someone else’s business that he threw his camera to the ground and chose another career immediately. – The Price of Salt, Patricia Highsmith

The Toast - “Sad Queer Classics, Fixed” (via judith-prietht)

And then Carol and Therese raised Rindy in New York City, and Harge was eaten by bears in the middle of a golf game.

# Richard and Harge should be eaten by bears though

It was a dark and stormy night and Richard was two meters off the coast of Long Island painting a sailboat from another sailboat.

deadlines doooooonneee so have some celebratory Carol

[fuckyeahthepriceofsalt]

So pretty much 90% of the critics reviews for Carol are just people crting on their computers and writing romantic poetry about it. Here are some of the best lines:

“ When Cate Blanchett’s Carol first appears in the department store she is wearing furs: she is a predator, though a haughtily self-contained one. She has the air of a very dangerous animal that has just been hit with a tranquilliser dart.”

- The Grauniad 

“Mara is the revelation, investing Therese with a very gentle witchiness that makes Carol's description of her as "flung out of space" all the more appropriate: she is a little bit of an alien.” 

- The Playlist

Abby’s presence snaps into the larger construct with gemlike precision.

- Variety

“It's a welcome escape from the real world and the ladies soon consummate their love in a scene that is 100 times more realistic that the sex scenes in 2013 Palme d’Or winner "Blue is the Warmest Color."

- Hitfix

Next to a rack of dolls (and a sign labeling “Mommy's Baby”) the much younger Mara is wearing a Santa's hat and looking rather shy.

- Mashable

also amazing: the people who came up with burning ice and crystal tears. 

The crown jewel of these reviews is “gentle witchiness” which would be an incredible name for just about anything you can think of and fully deserves to replace the word ‘awesome’ in our cultural lexicon.
