It can be really exasperating to look back at your past. What’s the matter with you? I want to ask her, my younger self, shaking her shoulder. If I did that, she would probably cry. Maybe I would cry, too.

- Elif Batuman, The Idiot

a lot of my recent experience reading well-regarded contemporary novels is me thinking “wow, this is a really good satire of a neo-liberal decadent lifestyle” and later realising, dreadfully, that it is not, in fact, a satire…

I kept thinking about the uneven quality of time-- the way it was almost always so empty, and then with no warning came a few days that felt so dense and alive and real that it seemed indisputable that that was what life was, that its real nature had finally been revealed.
