No big updates. Just a bunch of conspiracy theories in the airport and a heck load of studying.
I'm just going to leave a section of Disgrace that really struck me... ah. I've got such a love-hate relationship with this text. It's so beautifully written and it strikes me so hard.
Anyway, here's Coetzee...
"Maybe, for men, hating the woman makes sex more exciting. You are a man, you ought to know. When you have sex with someone strange - when you trap her, hold her down, get her under you, put all your weight on her - isn't it a bit like killing? Pushing the knife in;exiting afterwards, leaving the body behind covered in blood - doesn't it feel like murder, like getting away with murder?" (p.158)
Maybe it's just me, but every time I read Coetzee's work, I can already envision it occuring on a stage (cheesy I know...) and just all the sub-text we bring out in lessons, it's so chilling yet, disturbingly beautiful. Perhaps staging Disgrace would not be an ideal project but heck, it's most definitely a piece of art that is truly compelling. I can't even begin to describe the effects the novel has on me...
Maybe one day I'll produce something that has this sort of effect on people.
Maybe.
