13:03, I'm glad I'm not alone in finding writing about Jesus hit or miss, often I'll have to put something down because the writer has not thought it through, or is just missing the point completely. I like the way Bulgakov did it in "The Master and Margarita". That might be my favourite exploration of the theme outside of explicitly Christian books. I understand faith is difficult to write about, but when the tone comes through with disrespect it can be a turn off. I am reading "Midnight's Children" and Rushdie is really good at navigating the clash of beliefs, leaving space for the reader and remaining non-judgemental. It can be done. Back to the charity shop, from whence ye came! Cool vid! :) If you haven't read it already, I would recommend "East of Eden", Steinbeck is so good!

yes, this is so tricky! looking at Jesus through the lens of the Holy Spirit can be very different from how a non-believer sees Him but it does hurt me to witness some things... however, it is still easy enough to avoid material that leans that way! after all, it all comes from a lack of understanding of who He is & what He's done for us, not one of hatred. 😊 it makes me think of Luke 23:34. I'm so keen to read east of eden! it's been on my tbr for a while now & sounds like it could potentially be a new favourite!!

Thank you for talking about lispector. What I realised from my own love towards her books and your review is that her self-indulgence doesn't make sense. She writes about people with rich inner life as a product of their isolation from the world so it doesn't make sense why these characters are content when objectively the life is depressing. She has a clever way of romantising melancholy as if it's the best thing in world. People who tend to that (me included) can relate to her writing so much, she speaks the language we don't know how to word. So I completely understand where you're coming from. For some it works for some it doesn't, like I can't for the life of me read books of Plath, Woolf or even Austen i always end up feeling "just get over it shut up" 😂 art is so subjective that's the most endearing part about it.

this is so interesting because what you describe 'people with rich inner life as a product of their isolation from the world' is something I feel I can relate to... I am sad a lot of the time for little reason & there were some references to this that really struck a chord in me & moved me... I think the problem was that I couldn't make head or tail of a lot of sentences because they were just that bit too vague and elusive. this could be something to do with my form of dyslexia or something else but it did feel a lot like I was attempting to read english as a non-native english speaker. I so wish I could've read the portugeuse because something might've been lost in translation. I don't know... I wonder if you could tell me whether you understood EVERYTHING in this book (or if you're even meant to?) because I was made to feel quite alone in how little I understood - like I was of a lesser human than the ones who "get it".

English isn't my 1st language nor am I a lit student so I'm sorry for not being able to help you dissect why I find her writings so eloquent. It just makes me feel heard as in she makes me articulate the language I don't have any words for. If you wish to retry then I vote for hour of the star. But still if you think she is blabbering, then that's completely fine. Preferences matter, also I don't find her translations poor but I've disliked many popular ones like the prophet cuz of it, so definitely agree on that. Lastly I don't have dyslexia but I'm a slow reader ( long time to complete romance too 😂), so on one hand i experience books more enrichingly but sometimes I feel too stupid to call myself a reader. But that mindset has only stifled my growth instead of objectively reading the books as they're. So don't be harsh on yourself, anyone who is doing this is just projecting on you. unabashedly talk about the authors who seem as edge lords to you 😂 passionately talking about what any piece of art emotes in us is half the fun!

thank you for your thoughts. I will definitely look into more of her work - I'm not quitting just yet!! I'll see how I get on & reassess then... I feel quite determined to understand tbh. 😂
