I finished reading Anna Kavan's Ice yesterday.

The Penguin Classics edition has an informative Afterword by Kate Zambreno.

Ice reads like a dream or nightmare. If you need more apocalypse, this might be for you. Instead of getting fried by global warming, the glaciers are advancing and killing everyone. Evidently, global disaster brings out the worst in people. Let's hope this isn't true.

Tonight, I'll finish reading #Solenoid by #MirceaCartarescu (I read somewhere here that using hashtags on Mastodon is the only way to signal searchable words in posts ... since I'm hoping to find kindred spirits... hence the hashtags.) Which means that I have some processing to do. Reading Solenoid makes me want to go back to #Hebdomeros and #Maldoror. Also, #Ice by #AnnaKavan (1967) employs similar transitional techniques. In my reading queue are #TheRememberedPart by #RodrigoFresan ... /1

In effetti, perché aspettarsi un finale diverso quando il libro ci racconta ogni mortificazione quotidiana che ha dovuto subire, nel silenzio di tutti?

Mi è  piaciuto? Sì, molto.
Lo rileggerei? Sì, deve essere riletto.

Periodocamente.
Soprattutto da chi ha un pisello.
