[aura’s inferno 🌨️ @parallelselves]

considering hesse had such a formative influence on me in my teens, i think if i'd read young törless back then (which i just finished, for the first time) i'd have become a completely different person

@likethedawnrose im literally a ghost in and out of here intermittently lurking around until i find my voice again. i hope you're well my dear tulip, bright as ever 🩵

“Literature is perhaps creative, but what it creates is always recessed in relation to what is, while this receding only renders what is more slippery, less sure of being what it is, and because of this as though attracted to another measure" -Blanchot

In 1445, a Flemish painter painted a hovering angel almost entirely in black. With dark robes and dark wings, it presses its hands to its face, crying. The contrast with the pale background sky is deliberate: the figure is engulfed in darkness, but its agony is clearly visible. Rogier van der Weyden, Crucifixion Triptych, detail.

@rckflrs literally i think this is more broadly a fault line in literary nonfiction. When does empathy become authorship over someone else? trying to making sense of suffering cross into taking possession of an experience that does not belong to u??? how does that warp our understanding

[aura’s inferno 🌨️ @parallelselves]

oh my god i am so incredibly bummed out about this it’s not even funny

[Steven Pinker @sapinker]

Bombshell: Oliver Sacks (a humane man & a fine essayist) made up many of the details in his famous case studies, deluding neuroscientists, psychologists, & general readers for decades. The man who mistook his wife for a hat? The autistic twins who generated multi-digit prime numbers? The institutionalized, paralyzed man who tapped out allusions to Rilke? Made up to embellish the stories. Probably also: the aphasic patients who detected lies better than neurologically intact people, including Ronald Reagan's insincerity. https://t.co/77nQRF8kp6
