Why do you do this to me?
Maybe you should just sit down for a week and get this story done with because the delay is too much to handle.
Roman One was sensual and nice. The enjambment of the scenes that played out or more the transition from the family sitting on the porch to the walks to the market is almost casually handled. It did affect me in the sense that it was more like watching a movie because the editing is done by skipping out the memory slides or cutting the film since I’m taking movies for example.
It didn’t have that word built up transition, you know, something like gradually leading up to the scene and to be honest, I kind of like it. I like how this progresses, I feel like the narrator is telling me, ‘look, this is what is important. Wind and trees remind me of my family and jackets and tea and the stairs. Holding my mother’s hand reminds me of how she always stays behind. Where in which, the ‘behind’ hinting at the illness. I like your subtlety. (Maybe you need to revive something. )
And your subtleness always surprises me because you have this habit of not dramatising things that people would normally expect you to but then you put your heart out on things that could settle with subtleness. I think that’s what makes you you and your work from others.
Roman Two was too personal. I try to not to be too biased when it comes to reviews. I don’t want to appreciate it solely because of what’s happening in my life but then again I don’t want to scrutinise it simply for the sake of the review. I think it is what it is. And I felt vulnerable reading Roman Two; I think that’s a good thing to you, the writer.
I’m sorry if this isn’t helpful. I don’t know why I review anymore. Do opinions qualify as reviews? I don’t know.
Cheers!
