Today‘s #bookhaul from the books my library is weeding - Andy Warhol‘s films, infrared photography, and Annie Leibovitz. I studied Art History in college, so this section of weeding probably interests me more than most 📚 🎥 📷 I also grabbed an old issue of Midwest Living magazine.

Le sang d'un pote | Jean Cocteau

Kind of in chronological order:
Daniel Sernine
Jean Cocteau
Franz Kafka
Paul Auster
Umberto Eco
(May I say that it's a bit embarassing that these five formative authors for me are all white men and only one is SFF, considering who I am as a reader and a writer?)

Eggs Why should you be embarrassed to hold the opinions and literary preferences that you have? Embrace! Enjoy! 5y
Velvetfur I agree with @Eggs - we like what we like and we don't have much control over that so no need to apologise for it! 😊 5y
tournevis @Velvetfur @eggs I'm not certain how managed to become a decolonial theorist, feminist and mad sci-fier with five white men as my core formative influences, is all. It's more than just a bit counter-intuitive. 5y

Samplergal I like a few of those as well. And I‘m a dyed in the wool feminist. Maybe BECAUSE of them we are who we are. 5y
tournevis @Samplergal Might be indeed! 5y
Gissy No, It's your writing style taste. 5y

"This is where something important happened to me, and since I am the protagonist--not the hero, never that--of this story, it matters that I tell you."

Already very excited to be reading this book #experimentalfilm #gemmafiles
