Welcome to Litsy!

Catie!! My neighbors are mad at you because I made a shriek sound at the cuteness off the Bear Hugs and it‘s not quite 6:00am! You definitely spoiled me BIG and I LOVE everything! Your friendship is my favorite gift of all 💚❤️

“I was too awake, it was all taking too long. I turned into a feral position. A loneliness that can be rocked. The great female tragedy. My mother, my love. It was too late. I ate books. I could live here”.

“I don‘t think I‘d heard of Prozac before, it was still so new. There was nothing like the so-called direct-to-consumer advertising we‘re so used to now. A few years later there would be books : Peter D. Kramer ‘s Listening to Prozac and Elizabeth Wurtzel‘s Prozac Nation. And soon after those creepy commercials. Ask your doctor if Zoloft might be right for you. Etc”.

Yup, yup, yup!

I love when books have the ability to shock me, this one certainly did!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brought up some interesting questions about the futility of life and how ”to live is an act of violence”. But overall this book felt half baked, hollow and translated with zero emotions.

Does this book deserve the Booker Prize? Honestly, I didn‘t feel so. But, to each their own.

This novel is a fictionalized, exaggerated and distorted telling of a dark period of the life of its author, Plath. This is a relatable account This is my 4th read. Each time, I want the real woman to live and be the bad girl poet she wanted to be instead of a wife and mother. Each time, I hope that the real woman‘s life ends differently than it did. I guess that‘s a definition of my own madness.

I finally picked up a Han Kang book. She sure punches a lot into such a short novel. I think this is the first book I‘ve read about anorexia. Yeong-hye begins having dreams and becomes vegetarian. Mental health and trauma plays a big part. The story is told by multiple POV‘s, all infuriated with Yeong-hye‘s decision to go against the grain of society.

Starting my Han Kang journey…
