"... and the lovely crown was broken, and she forgot the message, which was never delivered."
😭😭😭😭 Qué llorera CADA VEZ con el final de "Posesión".

@ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon my favourite thing atm is choosing an author I’ve read a bit of, and finding or setting up a reading challenge on @thestorygraph of all their work, so I can (re-)read everything in order. Currently doing this with #ASByatt, #EdnaOBrien, #JackKerouac and #DavidFosterWallace.

@daszeiserl So, ich folge jetzt mal dem Hashtag.
Hab das Buch entdeckt, als ich in 90ern nen Marburger Literaturprof, der Patient auf Orthopädie-Station war, nach seiner letzten richtig guten Lektüre gefragt habe. Und auf die Frage, was an »Posession« so doll ist, meinte er zuerst: »Die Sprache!«.
Hab damals die Übersetzung gelesen. Dann auch »Babel« auf Englisch (war mir damals aber noch a bissi zu hoch) und noch einige kürzere Texte (»Verliebte Dschinn«!).

Also nun: ich hab das letzte Buch fertig und lese jetzt #Possession von #ASByatt zum wiederholten Male. Wenn genug Leute mitmachen, wird das vielleicht was mit dem #Lesezirkel (ich schlage #LZPossession als Hashtag vor).
Um die Lage zu sondieren, stelle ich die #Frage1:
In welcher staubigen Bibliothek seid ihr denn dem Buch zum ersten Mal begegnet?

“Since our extraordinary conversation I have thought of nothing else.”
I couldn’t help rummaging through my shelves for my A.S. Byatt books, including my most oft-read Byatt, my copy of Possession - all spine-cracked and scribbled over and signed as if I had once fancied myself a late-twentieth-century airport-hopping book-mad Qianlong.
Why it is so hard, after all, to part with one’s possessions, however yellowed and faded.
Ave atque vale, A.S. Byatt (1926 - November 16, 2023)

Finished Babel Tower by AS Byatt, the third of a quartet of novels charting the lives of the same characters through several decades. Now need to find a second hand paperback of A Whistling Woman for the sake of bookshelf completeness.
A larger, more formally ambitious book than the predecessors, you can tell that Possession came in between.

Love is a gift. It's a gift of oneself given freely. It's not something one can ever ask for.

Love is not something we come to by reason. It’s more like a vapour, a dream perhaps, to lure us into the enchantment of our own stories. If not so, how are we to ever to know if it’s ever real? Is it a truth or simply a madness?
