"what is there even for me to say about a masterpiece like this. there was not one word out place. more than anything, Morrison’s magnetism is the result of her unbelievable commitment to precision and frankness in every sentence. she presents a version of the truth (as in, the truth of any and all situations, people, groups, events, etc) that is ugly and stunning and dumbfounding and irresistible.

i’m so into this idea of female friendship, especially black female friendship, as a deep mutualistic and fundamentally queer search for self, especially when contrasted with the shallowness and extractive nature of what she posits men look for in women.

i have more thoughts but i’ll refrain from blabbing and cluttering the space where Morrison is existing for me right now. but just. wow."
