“I want him to hear, his ear to my chest, my voice telling him my sorrow. I want him to feel my muscles tensed by the gravity of this moment. I want the beating of my heart to reassure him: life will go on.”

dark emotional sad tense

4.0

A beautiful, powerful book for a devastating and important story. He has incredible voice and is able to express his emotions with his words so well. At a loss for how to even get my own thoughts across, so I’m just going to pull some of the quotes that moved me most. 
“With a burst of machine gun fire, they shattered our puzzle. And after we have put it back together, piece by piece, it will no longer be the same.”
“I have the impression they want to steal from me. To take my misery and apply a balm of formulaic phrases that will leave me insipid, watered down, without poetry, without beauty.”
“A cloud scatters and sunlight pours down on the cemetery like honey flowing from the sky. Only yesterday, it was blood that fell from the clouds.”

Almost made me cry on several occasions. Leiris delves into and gives voice to the immeasurable depths of grief in a way that you feel it along with him.
