#flauberttogether “In order to capture some feeling of her, he…took out an old Rheims cookie box that was his storage place for letters from women .” 2.13

#flauberttogether #knausgaardtogether #Knausgaardtogethertheseasons Now that we are actually reading Madame Bovary, I can’t remember what all KOK said about it? Do you think Flaubert influenced his writing?? If so, in what way?

#flauberttogether 2.11 How terrible! Homais-awful man! Charles- how could he do that? Emma- I despise her! I just want to return to the day of the Agricultural Fair! And wander amongst the produce and livestock exhibition. Maybe I needed spoilers to be prepared for this chapter?

This article is interesting. I did, however, only read to where the author said “Spoiler Alerts”. I’m saving that part for later. #anthonypowelltogether rhakotis.com/2018/12/27/p...

#flauberttogether “Their great love, in which she lived completely immersed, seemed to be ebbing away, like the water of a river that was sinking into it own bed; and she saw the mud at the bottom.” (2.X) - Steegmuller

#flauberttogether A post swim breakfast at Midnight Oil. With Flaubert and the NYT crossword. A Thursday tradition.

#anthonypowelltogether TK p. 246 She (Mrs. E) had already begun to shake her head at such a near lapse, congenital lack of insight, all but openly displayed. “You mean not long before he achieved the Eighth Sphere to which Trismegistus refers?” (Nick) How I miss Dr. Trelawney!!

#flauberttogether “A Mathieu Laensberg almanac lay on the dusty mantelpiece…” “The almanac revealed the stars' influences on human affairs and provided practical, medical and household advice, stories and anecdotes on current affairs” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almanac...

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons Our last week of Karl Ove Knausgaard’s Seasons quartet. Thanks to everyone who joined me through this year…🍁❄️🌷🌞!

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons “Summer” p.367 #prousttogether

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons “Summer” pp.358-359 “”Thus time becomes a place, a grotto of light dug out of the darkness, and only this can time, which we sense but do not understand and never see, acquire its own aura.”

What is a Hirondelle? I only know this as the word for a swallow. #flauberttogether

#flauberttogether Some thoughts on 1.5… His medical dictionary “it’s pages uncut, but it’s binding battered by a long succession of owners” “the other bride’s bouquet!” “the conjugal chamber” - I mentally pictured this phrase being used on House Hunters and laughed 😂.

#flauberttogether I love the dust jacket of my copy of Madame Bovary…both inside and outside.

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons “Summer” “Ice Cream”

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons “Spring” “Clothes” pp 331-333 This essay fills me with all that I love about KOK’s writing.

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons WEEK 44 (07/20-07/26) “Summer” by Karl Ove Knausgaard 07/21: Day off 07/22: “Clothes” and “Ice Cream” 07/22: “Salt” and “Earthworms” 07/23: “Ekelöf” and “Bicycle” 07/24: “Backer” and “Cynicism” 07/25: “Plums” and “Skin” 07/26: Day off

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons p298 “My life is the result of many small and perfectly common place choices, good and bad some…consciously made most of them not- in decisive moments I let myself be ruled by emotions, and what motivates our feelings is something consciousness knows little about.”

#KnausgaardTogetherTheSeasons The fictional bits about the Norwegian woman during the war seem so random and odd to me. What was KOK trying to do?

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons “Summer” p. 274 “…we agreed they would spruce up the garden that belongs to that house, as well as this patio.”

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons “Summer” p. 284 “…I read a Guardian article about William Eggleston who has an exhibition in London right now…I had seen some of them earlier and had been hypnotized by them.” i-d.co/article/will...

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons “Spring” p. 248 The Dog???? 😂🐶📖

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons “At times I think that is what literature is for, that literature is a place where one can express oneself freely without fearing the law of the father, the law of the dog. “Summer” p. 246

#knausgaardtogethertheseasons “Summer” p.237 “It was just long enough since the last time I had played it that the first chords and the chorus, “free free set them free” unleashed every mood I had experienced in the months when the album was new the summer when I was 16” youtu.be/d8ZLqnfvoYQ?...
