Wow!! A great read. I haven't read anything like this in a while. How you have been able to disseminate even the most minute details of simple passion, and an experience of emotions that one goes through when someone is kneck deep in love with the other person, has struck a chord with me. I have not read the other book you are talking about but it is on my hit list for sure. The essay was unique in every way!

This was transcendental. What a lovely way to marry limerence and the passion/way of being for an artist and a bon vivant alike. Truly - not to be trite - I never thought of this in this way, and that's a gift. <3

Haven’t read this particular piece by Ernaux but will have to now. The quotes you drew from her were hard hitting, and your own conclusions resonated. Thank you for this thoughtful analysis🌻
