The Opposite of a Person by Lieke Marsman
5.0
“Feelings are formless, so you can’t expect to be able to trace their edges with words.”
Alright, I admit I finished this about a week ago, but my god has it stuck with me. What an utterly brilliant piece of writing. Part prose, part poetry, part essay… there was so much to digest that was just revelatory to me. Language, love, loneliness, philosophy, climate change, and cucumbers. Need I say more?
Well… maybe. I kinda wrote an essay about it because I loved it so much. I’m not kidding. Go read it if you want! Gloaming Notes REVIEW (sort of)
