Men who tell women that they know exactly what they are and go on to tell you all about it.
They are like magicians who shape the world the way they want it to be.
And the worst part is that it really works because the world doesn't want to proof them wrong.
Damn
The truth is it can't proof them wrong because the world is built by men who measure and judge.
So to proof them wrong would mean to deny the world shit

There's something I love so much about this line. Love and food, all mixed together, along with a bit of family history as well. It's a full story within a story. Beautiful. #writing #reading #books #HelenOyeyemi #food

I am reading #WhiteIsForWitching by #HelenOyeyemi & it's going quite well, by which I mean terrible things are happening. Mmm, lovely.
"It turned into a blandly sweet smell, like milk, at her navel, melted into spice in the creases of her elbows, then cocoa at her neck."
- White is for Witching, Helen Oyeyemi
Scent is underrepresented in good literature.

@CanICallYouSchmitty I don't read just one book either. Currently, I'm actively reading 6:
#Paradise by #ToniMorrison
#MrFox by #HelenOyeyemi
#TheColorPurple by #AliceWalker
#TheFireKeepersDaughter by #AngelineBoulley
#Uglies by #ScottWesterfeld
#bookstodon seven authors:
#jamesjoyce
#jorgeluisborges
#carmenmariamachado
#ItaloCalvino
#fyodordostoevsky
#helenoyeyemi
#alainrobbegrillet
Could add at least seven more easily (eg #NadiaBulkin), but let’s start with that.
Love the idea @EJBrand! Who are 5-7 of your favorite authors? Add them as hashtags so we can find each other, boost this, share your own, etc.
Some of mine are:
#AngelaCarter (always)
#MichèleRoberts
#SarahWaters
#HelenOyeyemi
#BernardineEvaristo
And when I look at #EarlyModernTheatre, the list would include:
#ChristopherMarlowe
#ThomasMiddleton
#JohnFletcher
#JohnMarston
#PhilipMassinger
