A New Feeling Enters the World

Thursday, February 11, 2010

A few months ago I finished The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. The book itself is a bit hard to define, but reflects the complexities of human emotion and experience in a quiet, deep way that is completely absorbing. Around the time I finished it and thought about putting up some of my favorite passages, I came across the Swedish blog Niotillfem, whose author, Sandra, had just posted her favorite passages. A kindred spirit, so far away! If you’ve read the book, this is discovery was especially cool. Be sure to check out her blog, filled with images of Sandra, her lovely friends and boyfriend, and gorgeous images of parties and food. Here are some of my favorite passages:
