it is with a clenched fist shaking in the direction of the nearest #litbro that I must say that east of eden is indeed a heater. kinda outselling all the bible fanfic that's been published; hemingway could never, dante is shaking, milton only good as inspo for lucifer paintings. the first 8 chapters went absolutely bonkers omg, "a time splashed with interest, wounded with tragedy, crevassed with joy --- that's the time that seems long in the memory. and this is right when you think about it. eventlessness has no posts to drape duration on. from nothing to nothing is no time at all" just being some fadeaway sentences is wild and there's like 12 of them per chapter...
