speaking of which, i have started calling all shitty leftist men “sons of sarratore,” in honor of nino sarratore from the neapolitan novels. he’s such a quintessential character to me, the absolute worst

“It was Enzo. Seeing him didn’t disappoint her. She thought he had come to bring her some fruit—as he had done many years earlier, as a child, after he was defeated in the competition created by the principal and Maestra Oliviero, and had thrown a stone at her—and she burst out laughing. Enzo considered the laughter a sign of illness. He went in, but left the door open out of respect, he didn’t want the neighbors to think she was receiving men like a prostitute. He looked around, he glanced at her disheveled state, and although he didn’t see what still didn’t show, that is, the pregnancy, he deduced that she really needed help.”

The Story of a New Name, Elena Ferrante
