I was just thinking about my favorite paragraph from a book ever and I wanted to share it with you. This is so beautiful to me. #TheRoad #Bookstodom

‘The world shrinking down about a raw core of parsible entities. The names of things slowly following those things into oblivion. Colors. The names of birds. Things to eat. Finally the name of things one believed to be true. More fragile than he would have thought. How much was gone already? The sacred idiom shorn of its referents and so of its reality.’

Actualmente estoy leyendo el último libro físico que compre. Me da curiosidad explorar la lectura digital.

The Sewing Circle: Hollywood's Female Stars Who Loved Other Women

2.75 stars

This was another impulse borrow, but unfortunately a rare miss from Queer Liberation Library. It was published in 1995 and it feels perhaps even more dated than that, with some problematic terminology and sensationalist assumptions.

There isn't really an overarching historical argument, much less a rigorous methodology. The book is just a string of seemingly unrelated anecdotes about women in old Hollywood who were probably queer in some way. A few fun factoids, but not what I'm looking for in my queer nonfiction.
