A review by mindthebook
Last Words from Montmartre by Qiu Miaojin
4.0
Taiwanesisk litteratur i Parismiljö. Under läsningen tänker jag att det är alldeles för depressivt. Men så kan man ju inte tänka när en sorglig kärlekshistoria skildras i brevform, postumt publicerat. Hela boken betraktas numera som ett enda långt självmordsbrev. Här är en av de MINST plågsamt passionerade passagerna:
"For a moment during our phone call as it was snowing, as I realized the extent of our sorrow, I knew that I loved you so much it was like I was practically crying out: Here is the location of the soul I have cared for, and here is the source of all beauty and love, but how heavy, how painful, how heavy, how painful."
I texterna finns ett slags pågående samtal om film, litteratur och poesi och de bästa delarna påminner om Pessoa, Nescio, Oscar Wilde eller Sappho. Tack till #boblmaf-Caroline för boktipset.
