"The sadness of others one should leave alone. It is a small garden, a fragile delicate Arcadia, one should not disturb it." • I AM THE BROTHER OF XX is a deliciously acerbic collection of short stories replete with gothic elegance and disquieting beauty. We cannot recommend it highly enough. Translated from the Italian by Gini Alhadeff. 🇨🇭 #translatedtuesday #fleurjaeggy (at Unabridged Bookstore)

🇹🇷 Aileme, kedime, güzelim Ayvalık’a, denize ve güneşe kavuşmanın tatlı heyecanıyla başladı yaz tatilim. ☺️ Yazlık kitaplarımı daha buraya varmadan ayarlamıştım, şimdi teker teker okumaya başlıyorum. İlk kitabım Fleur Jaeggy’nin Displinli Güzel Günler’i oldu. (Elbette #lebowskithecat’i de konu mankeni yaptım hemen.) İsveçli yazar Jaeggy kitaplarını İtalyanca yazıyor. Bu kitabı iki ödül kazanmış, bir oturuşta bitecek enfes bir kitap. Takip edilecek adamakıllı bir konu yok elde ama yazarın dili, karakterleri ve yarattığı o tuhaf ortamın büyüsüne kapılmamak elde değil. Hemen bitiverecek iyi bir kitap arıyorsanız mutlaka öneririm. 🌿 . 🇬🇧 I’m finally reunited with my family and cat and my summer holiday officially started. I’ve read Swiss author Fleur Jaeggy’s Sweet Days of Discipline and I must say its one of those books that will stay with you. The setting is a boarding school for girls and the characters are just perfect. If you are looking for an interesting and short read, you’ll enjoy this. 🌿 . . . . #fleurjaeggy #sweetdaysofdiscipline #disiplinligüzelgünler #canyayınları #roman #kedi #kedimiseviyorum #cat #ilovemycat #catsofinstagram #booksandcats #booksbooksbooks #kitap #okumahalleri #okumaaşkı #kitapkurdu #bookaholics #bookaddiction (at Ayvalık) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1GvDecAQZu/?igshid=14aluysvtrmqa

"A modest, gray afternoon. Vitreous. The fraulein is a kind woman, wilted and very lonely. And solitude has made her even kinder, she almost apologized. Lonely people are often afraid to let their solitude show. Some are ashamed. Families are so strong. They have all of advertising on their side. But a person alone is nothing but a shipwreck." • Fleur Jaeggy's I AM THE BROTHER OF XX seethes with a disquieting, savage beauty. This mesmerizing collection drops on July 25th. ❣️#forthcomingfriday #fleurjaeggy #iamthebrotherofxx (at Beans & Bagels)
