E forse questo è sufficiente. È sufficiente avere ricevuto un po’ d’amore, un tempo. Anche se non ha funzionato a lungo. Forse è sufficiente averne ricevuto in passato, e adesso vivere solo con i suoi frammenti, e non c’è proprio niente di male se dedichi l’amore che ancora ti resta a un vecchio gatto o a un’anatra, ai pochi cari amici, a tua madre. Sull’arca non tutti sono in coppia.

Just picked this up and I am loving it. Recognized that I am in the midst of writing what she calls a fractal narrative, and her description and subsequent discussion of it is SO helpful. I’ll probably post more quotes. Can’t wait to read more.

[fragbot]

A radial narrative could spring from a central hole—an incident, pain, absence, horror—around which it keeps circling or from which it keeps veering, but it scarcely moves forward in time.

- from "Beyond the Narrative Arc," Jane Alison (x)

[leehallfae]

“although we think of narrative as a temporal art, experienced in time like music, of course it’s interestingly visual, too; a story’s as much house or garden as song.”

April 28, 2008. Alison Bechdel attempts to explain herself, in the intro to THE ESSENTIAL DYKES TO WATCH OUT FOR.

[leehallfae]

“ben marcus calls the best stories ‘stun guns,’ says they hold you ‘paralyzed on the outside but very nearly spasming within.’”

Top 5 Ruth Wilson Roles (because I’m 100% obsessed)

If I had to pick, these are my top five:

1. Marisa Coulter (His Dark Materials)

2. Alice Morgan (Luther)

3. Lorna Brady (The Woman in the Wall)

4. Alison Wilson (Mrs. Wilson)

5. Jane Eyre (Jane Eyre)

Each of these roles shows just how incredible Ruth Wilson is at bringing out the darker, complicated side of her characters. She once said about playing Alice Morgan, “I wanted a place where I could go somewhere psychologically and justify it.” I love that! Ruth doesn’t just play her characters, she understands them, bringing out all their layers, from Alice’s chaotic charm to Marisa’s ruthlessness mixed with a fierce love for her daughter.

That’s what makes her characters unforgettable. She brings out those glimpses of vulnerability or humor, even in her most “villainous” roles, making it impossible not to root for them (even when you probably shouldn’t!).

So, Ruth Wilson fans—who’s your favourite?
