I love that there's a secret about a relatively obscure book that I've actually read and enjoyed ^.^
OP
(Anonymous) 2011-10-23 03:02 am (UTC)(link)It is seriously well-written. And rather obscure, yes- I try to combat this fact. Every time I make a close writer friend, I send them a copy of You Don't Know Me or Pure Sunshine for Christmas. It's the sort of writing that deserves to be shared.
Re: OP
OP
(Anonymous) 2011-10-24 01:17 am (UTC)(link)The first page opens with this:
THE SUN FELL FROM THE SKY to go and sleep elsewhere. It was a surrender of sorts, a passing of its reign for the moon to awake. And I lived for that in-between transience when the glass buildings reflected the brilliance of twilight, when the sky was swept with a short and sudden color of flames before fading dull and gray. I waited. On the park bench, I faced the clouds and waited for that perfect moment when the drugs take over.
The shadows of the trees stretched farther in an exhale of length. The rays of the sun were failing to reach the eastern horizon. Headlights switched on by the dozens as the automobiles inched up Walnut Street in the rush-hour maze. I began to see it happen, like the instant of impact in a neutron explosion. The entire city was bathed in crowning light, and for a brief second even Philadelphia appeared to have been carved from gold. I extended my tongue, hoping by chance to ingest the miracle of weather. I felt the bitter stinging. Eager for the photographic flash that occurs when night has taken the edge and all color fades. I waited, knowing that if I
blinked I’d miss it completely.
Eyelids open, pushed to the extreme by cold and wind. The nerve centers of my mouth were growing numb. One fleeting image of intensity before the
swollen clouds of evening lulled into view. As the brightness receded overhead, I slowly brought my tongue down, letting it settle in my mouth, allowing the tab of acid to dissolve further before swallowing.
I'm not usually a fan of books about drug consumption, but this surprisingly neutral narrative is rather fascinating to me, and I think, far better at describing a teenage stream-of-consciousness and in-fighting than Perks of Being a Wallflower managed to do.
