i love golden afternoon sunshine and feeling nostalgic. i love dancing till i cant feel my feet and getting rides home in the fresh new daylight with strangers. i love drinking tea and painting in monochromatic colors. i love rambling and secret drawers. i love science fiction and nabokov. i love bright eyes and royksopp. i love you loving me.

The Blue Door - Andre Brink

The Blue Door - Andre Brink
March 2009

The Blue Door is a surrealist novel in which the protagonist finds himself returning to his art studio to find that all of a sudden his life is completely different than the one he remembers living. The family he finds there treats him as if he's always been part of it and he begins to question whether the life he remembers living is real or if somehow it was all a trick of memory and perception. I thought that the references, the imagery and the metaphors were all a bit heavy handed and the ending a bit cliche.
