"I’ve wrapped myself in an artifact of another person’s life" - i've always loved the feeling of wearing someone else's clothes, and i think this is a great way of putting it. my childish brain imagines it like an alternate costume for a video game character, or a superhero, or something; like when the black power ranger dons the green ranger's chestplate. it feels cool to adorn myself with a small part of my friends
Update #1: New micro-saddle https://saddleblasters.com/records#twentysix
Update #2: I read another book by Houellebecq https://saddleblasters.com/trades/map
The Quiet American (´･ω･`) (i dont have an email, so feel free to ignore)
I love this idea but I'm too overwhelmed with long term projects and other books on my TBR pile to participate
@siqu Ok! In return I suggest Rings of Saturn by W.G. Sebald if you haven't read it. Your writing often has a similar feel to his narration.
Regarding the micro-saddle, I really enjoy what you said about indulging in the fantasy aspect and its role and disconnect it has from reality
