Leitura telúrica para sentir as arestas das rochas que vivem nas pontas dos dedos e no fundo da nuca, alojadas ao pé das memórias.

it was beautiful and definitely evokes such deeply sad emotions that i was able to put myself in the position of geryon feeling the pain that accompanies love. however, i felt unsatisfied with the ending, which is why i rated it as such. still, worth the read for the beautiful writing.

I’ve never been compelled by any other Greek translation in my entire life but just the fragments at the beginning of this book had me hooked

I didn't enjoy this book mostly because of the horrible-to-contemplate beginning but it's a very smart exploration of desire, love, time, place, and color.
