“I would have preferred if you had loved me less and understood me more. But perhaps you didn’t love me enough, or didn’t have the imagination, madness, or balls to become an alchemist of life like I was, to spin gold out of the boredom and emptiness that surround us.”
— Margarita Karapanou, tr. by Karen Emmerich, from “Rien ne va Plus,”
