Stunning Claudine and gloomy Pauline pretend to be one person so that Claudine can be famous, but just as things take off, Claudine commits suicide. Pauline hatches a new scheme, taking on her dead sisters identity, inhabiting her apartment, and reading her emailsslowly realizing the cost of femininity is to dazzle on the outside while rotting on the inside.

Despentes!! Emily Wilson! Sarah Perry! Julia Alvarez! And Ana Castillo, who came to my attention because of you @Reggie ! That lovely notebook. I wish I could write something more meaningful about how grateful I am to get all of this. I'm just like 😭😭😍😍😭😭 *hug* Thank you for your kindness in replacing the missing #jolabokaflodswap package (that was actually delayed in the post & arrived much later). Littens are the very best. ❤️❤️

Mehso-so

I might change this to “pan” eventually because I cannot quite decide. Not sure if it‘s not as impactful in translation or I‘m too prudish to appreciate the vulgarity but it was a rough read that I stayed at least invested in enough to finish. Thoughts?
