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)

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

[newsatsix1986]

A brilliant unit still of Jane Harber and Rory Fleck Byrne as Carla and Gerry Carroll in The Newsreader’s S02E03 - Greed And Fear

.

.

Carla and Gerry Carroll are one proud couple.

They are so proud of the life they have created together. Since they met on a cruise ship back in the 1970s, they have been joined heart and soul, creating a life that makes sense to them. They have so much to be proud of; their relationship, their adorable little girl and dog, their careers, and the way they have given each other permission to explore other parts of who they are too. They know they will always come home to each other.

Their home is also their pride and joy, and it’s an impressive sight to behold as you’re walking up to it; towering on top of a grassy hill, open-planned and mod, just like the Carrolls are. Opening up their home to others is something they have to be cautious about; they never know how people will react to the way they choose to live and whether they will be discrete, but they have a feeling that Helen Norville and Dale Jennings are the perfect people to invite over. Dale has become a really good friend of Gerry’s, and Alison is currently obsessed with watching them on the telly.

As they learn, they have even more in common with one another! Dale’s a country boy, just like Gerry, and as for Helen, well, Carla can tell that she’s a bit like her; she would appreciate the countryside from the window of a five star hotel! Gerry has realised quickly that Dale is open to possibilities, just like he is, and that he is curious about how Gerry holds the life he does. In a similar fashion, Carla immediately feels relaxed with Helen; free to tell her about her post-birth struggles, and recognises that Helen shares a few of her same life apprehensions too.

Okay, okay, maybe the keys in the bowl thing was a bit too cheeky. Carla and Gerry were kidding, Helen and Dale! They were kidding! But surely the couple wouldn’t mind being treated to an after-lunch singalong, as the Carrolls hope that they’ve inspired Helen and Dale to dream a little dream of their own too. ❤️
