We Do Not Part by Han Kang
"Kang blends the atmospheric imagery of The White Book with the charged emotions of Human Acts in this elegiac exploration of Jeju 4:3 and its aftermath.

The stark imagery has a filmic quality, and every scene is vividly rendered. There is an immediacy" Read more of this review »

“Last year when my grandma fell and broke her hip she couldn't paint her toenails anymore. So my grandpa started doing it for her, even after he fell and broke his hip, too. For me, that's love.”
David Ebershoff, The 19th Wife

“Einar felt lonely, and he wondered if anybody in the world would ever know him.”
David Ebershoff, The Danish Girl

“I know someone loves me from how they say my name. Like with my mom and dad, when they say "Benjamin" it's like my name is safe in their mouth.”

“A man will reveal his true self, or so it seems, on the tennis court.”
Joyce Carol Oates, Black Water

“One can become so sentimental about a person's absence, but it's impossible to be consistently sentimental in his presence - when you're confronted with the quotidian selfishness and silence that, I'm given to understand, comprise most of a life. But we were just so new.”
Jennifer Dubois, A Partial History of Lost Causes

“But all that talk. All those confidences. He shuddered to think about it. At the time, though, he didn't know any better, and he was filled the gleeful lurching and teeth-chattering panic of early and undiagnosed love.”
Jennifer Dubois, A Partial History of Lost Causes
tags: love

“I will admit it sometimes felt strange to me to make the confession to someone and later catch them laughing, or flirting, or eating a sandwich, instead of tearing at the injustice of it all or sitting quietly at the center of a grand and monstrous grief. The disaster of my life might be only the worst thing another person heard that afternoon; they might have forgotten by dinnertime; they might have been more heartbroken by watching certain movies.”
Jennifer Dubois, A Partial History of Lost Causes
