The Objects by Lygia Fagundes Telles. You can read it. You can understand a little.
#youni originals
#lygia fagundes telles
#suspense
#short story
#brazilian literature
#(translation by me. obiously.)
#it's probably not the best. I had to take a half day off because the words were starting to lose meaning to me
#if you think there are less commas than there should be that is because there was no comma in the original sentence so i did the same
#a lot of the words n stuff that feel like they're missing or repeating are because i'm following the style of the original
#i'm not taking many artistic freedoms as a translator. these guys are leaning/bending/tilting so much.
#also idk if you guys have papaya trees but if you don't: the branches are hollow so as kids we use them to blow soap bubbles
#anyways.
#OBSESSED with how this guy thinks. an object comes alive if it is used. it is only truly an object if it is handled. and love is the same.
#is it an unhealthy way to think. yes a little. but it makes sense in a way. we as humans crave the mortifying ordeal of being known
#and then all the morbid imagery. and then he leaves with the dagger. what is a dagger for if not buried in a chest.
#very very words. rent free in my head.
#i love this author's style of suspense. there's no big reveal at the end‚ only a tense uncertainty
#either you get it or you are stuck there with the character
