crime and punishment: dunya and marfa petrovna / dunya and sonya anna karenina: kitty and anna / kitty and varenka

every great russian novel needs a naïve but ultimately sensible young girl who has weirdly explicit homoerotic tension with an older unhappily married woman of dubious morals, and subsequently also becomes completely captivated by and devoted to an extremely pious young incarnation of virtue and charity cast to the margins of society by some nebulous misfortune within instants of meeting her

Hi I just wanted you to know that a month ago I read A Gentleman in Moscow since you recommended it and I cannot stop thinking about Bread and Salt. I am reading Anna Karenina now and just reached the passage quoted in it from Levin's perspective and it knocked me straight in the chest. Thank you for this recommendation, if you have more I would love to have them

i'm glad you liked it! if you were ever called a weird and disconcerting child who's grown up to be what your friends say in a knowing voice "quirky" i recommend the absurd, gothic, coming-of-death story o caledonia by elspeth barker. i've also been reading metropolis: a history of the city and braiding sweetgrass, which are nonfictions that have the AGIM-esque ability to tilt the world at an angle i've never seen before and show me something fantastically new. braiding sweetgrass in particular should be a staple in everyone's bookshelf as the seas rise and forests burn etc etc

Between Levin and Countess Nordston a relationship had grown up that is seen quite frequently in society, when two people outwardly remaining on friendly terms despise one another to such a point that they cannot treat the other seriously and cannot even be offended by each other.

--- Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy.

Whether or not Zuko and Katara interact in the Adult Gaang movie, I will assume they’re having a passionate affair
