If I were to sit still or lie down in a room with some memory of myself – the time I have left to live out, that nasty sentence, that hell – I would go mad.

Ottessa Moshfegh, your books are beautiful and insane and revolting and perverse and I will enjoy every single one of them but I will never recommend them to another person, girl you got something FUCKED going on with you and I feel like we should all collectively decide to minimise that damage by not recommending any of your books to anyone we care about

I am a drunk.

It took me some time to know this.

Here is how I know. How it's always been I don't know how to talk or move or sleep or shit. I wake up mornings with my head in a vice. The only solution is to drink again. That makes me almost jolly. It does wonders in the morning to take my mind off the pain and pressure. I can use my eyes after that first drink, I remember how to line up my feet and walk, loosen my jaw, tell someone to get out of my way. Then I get tired. I whine and need to lie down. I lie down, I want a drink. I cannot sleep without having already forgotten my name, my face, my life. If I were to sit still or lie down in a room with some memory of myself – the time I have left to live out, that nasty sentence, that hell – I would go mad.

Finally reading lapvona (I was saving it for october, then october passed last year, so I'm finally reading it now!!!) and I'm only into the second act but it's completely reinvigorated my love for ottessa moshfegh, I love the nasty gritty disgusting freakish nature of her writing and the way the emphasised disgusting freakishness is in lapvona is incredible. I'm so happy with this and I will update when I'm done

Disco elysium has completely destroyed my mind bc why did I just look at the book I've been meaning to finish and had the thought "oh yeah a book. That's a great way to pass some time till evening"

If you really think about it MARINA's music was written for horrible closeted Bostonian men from the 1850's.

[fiction-quotes]

There is a storm in the night and the boat rocks. Mates clamber up and down the hall and across the deck, hollering over the wind and rain. Raise the sails, furl the sails, repair the rigging. I remember all that. I stand on the cot to look out the window, wipe my face, watch the lightning flash through the white tower of flags, whipping crazy, the bow flying high, chair scraping along the floor behind me, the black seas all around. The ship tilts and rain spills in through the window onto the cot. I get up and drag the cot up against the door. This kind of dizzy makes sense when I walk. The piss and shit bucket I wedge in the corner. I'd like a smoke. I tip the cot to get the water off and lay back down. This is like high seas. The best part. I close my eyes, let the room spin.
