Hands move in different ways and express different things, but there is a specific place in my heart for hands that caress books. Bronzino’s hands at the Uffizi gallery by @mr.neil.scott
This book by @emilyennui is a tremendous read. Beautifully written, wise, moving and clear in its murkiness. I left it on my desk for a whole month, bookmark on three pages from the end because I did not want to finish it. I did today, with some sadness. It is about so many things and all done well. It is of the most truthful accounts I have read on the encounter with Augustine’s Salpêtrière photographs. Her view of the hysteric and mine share a beating heart and I wish I could have had more of a dialogue with her writing in my own book. Yet, I am glad the hysteric keeps inspiring writing, especially as good as this one.
