Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
To be honest, I wasted a lot of time stuck in the past I couldn't focus on the present. I wasted a lot of time thinking about my misfortunes I couldn't see any of my blessings. At the same time, I'm still trying to move forward. I let go, or at least I'm in the process of letting go. All of the people who hurt me or caused me some kind of distress, whether we dated, were related, went to school together, or however we met... it doesn't matter. If I wanted to make you mine, but you rejected me, that's fine too. I forgive you. I'm not going to f*ck with half of ya'll ever again, which is all right. I don't need to. I want to close that chapter we had and proceed with better in life. I want to stop being angry. I want to lighten up a little. I won't ever have any peace if I don't let go of my grudges.

Swimming in Paris
Author: Colombe Schneck
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593655931
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
A Natalie Portman Book Club Pick From the award-winning and bestselling French author Colombe Schneck, a woman’s personal journey through abortion, sex, friendship, love, and swimming At fifty years old, while taking swimming lessons, I finally realized that my body was not actually as incompetent as I’d thought. My physical gestures had been, until then, small, worried, tense. In swimming I learned to extend them. I saw male bodies swimming beside me, and I swam past them, I was delighted, my breasts got smaller, my uterus stopped working. My body, by showing me who I was, allowed me to become fully myself. In Seventeen, Friendship, and Swimming, Colombe Schneck orchestrates a coming-of-age in three movements. Beautiful, masterfully controlled, yet filled with pathos, they invite the reader into a decades-long evolution of sexuality, bodily autonomy, friendship, and loss. Schneck’s prose maintains an unwavering intimacy, whether conjuring a teenage abortion in the midst of a privileged Parisian upbringing, the nuance of a long friendship, or a midlife romance. Swimming in Paris is an immersive, propulsive triptych—fundamentally human in its tender concern for every messy and glorious reality of the body, and deeply wise in its understanding of both desire and of letting go.

The Journal of Jules Renard
Author: Jules Renard
Publisher: Tin House Books
ISBN: 1941040829
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Spanning 1887 to a month before his death in 1910, The Journal of Jules Renard is a unique autobiographical masterpiece that, though celebrated abroad and cited as a principle influence by writers as varying as Somerset Maugham and Donald Barthelme, remains more of a cult object in the United States. Throughout his journal, Renard develops not only his artistic convictions but also his humanity as he reflects on the nineteenth-century French literary and art scene, and on the emergence of his position as an important novelist and playwright in that world. Through a mix of aphorisms and observations, short scenes, gossip, jokes, and meditations on life and art, Renard portrays the details of his personal life—his love interests, his position as a socialist mayor of Chitry, the suicide of his father—that often appear in his work. In recent years, the fragmented memoir has grown in popularity, and there’s been a resurgence of diary as an artistic form. Once again, Jean Paul Sartre’s assessment that “directly, or indirectly, Renard is at the origin of contemporary literature” rings true. In a new introduction, Sarah Manguso—whose groundbreaking nonfiction incorporates elements of diary and aphorism—both contextualizes and celebrates Renard’s seminal journal.
