Me gusta mucho este Tumblr que combina fotografías de series con extractos de novelas, utilizando estos últimos para hablar de los personajes o situaciones que retratan las primeras. Mis posts favoritos siempre son, como no, los que tienen que ver con Girls:
“We have advantages. We have a cushion to fall back on. This is abundance. A luxury of place and time. Something rare and wonderful. It’s almost historically unprecedented. We must do extraordinary things. We have to. It would be absurd not to.”
― Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.
“So many years of preparation, for what was called adult life: was it for this?”
― Hilary Mantel, Experiment in Love.
“Now and then, however, he is horribly thoughtless, and seems to take a real delight in giving me pain. Then I feel… that I have given away my whole soul to some one who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer’s day.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray.

“He’s one of those smart, drifty young people who, after certain deliberations, decides he wants to do Something in the Arts but won’t, possibly can’t, think in terms of an actual job; who seems to imagine that youth and brains and willingness will simply summon an occupation, the precise and perfect nature of which will reveal itself in its own time.”
— Michael Cunningham, By Nightfall.
“They are not brave, the days when we are twenty-one. They are full of little cowardices, little fears without foundation, and one is so easily bruised, so swiftly wounded, one falls to the first barbed word.”
― Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca.
“You will always be loved, and you will always be in love with love. A grande passion is the privilege of people who have nothing to do. That is the one use of the idle classes of a country. Don’t be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Uy qué curioso esto que has encontrado... nunca me hubiera imaginado a esa pantufla de hombre que es el "novio" de la protagonista de la serie, siendo descrito por Michael Cunningham (en una novela que por cierto, me horripila).
ResponderEliminarUn besote nena.
O sea, que By Nightfall es un petardo, ¿no? Pues me ahorro leerla entonces :)
Eliminar¡Un beso!
Yo te diría que la probaras tú misma, ya sabes: una cosa es una recomendación y otra hacer que desvíes de lo que te apetece jeje. Si quieres léela, pero yo no la disfruté más bien nada. El narrador resulta muy cargante y eso cabrea un poco.
EliminarA mí por lo menos.
¡Un beso!
La verdad es que no me suena, y tampoco me llama. Por la que sí siento curiosidad es por A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, unas memorias que pintan interesantes (por lo que he leído).
EliminarMe ha encantado, al igual que tu nuevo blog, que no había tenido la oportunidad de visitar.
ResponderEliminarpd: ¿sabes que estuvo Lena Dunham en Madrid la semana pasada?
muá.
¿Sí? No tenía ni idea. Voy a ponerme a investigar qué la ha traído a España :) Me alegro de que te haya gustado el blog.

Se la encontró una amiga en el concierto de Fun, e indagando un poco, resulta que está saliendo con el guitarrista del grupo.
Eliminar¡Ah! Pues yo sabía que salía con el chico, y también que su grupo había dado un concierto en Madrid, pero no fui capaz de atar cabos xD ¡Gracias por la info!
