Nineteen Claws and a Black Bird by Agustina Bazterrica
4.0
Gorgeous and macabre.
"But above all, one must learn to contain the repulsion for tears, the feeling of wanting to be sick when that transparent liquid slithers along faces, dampens clothes and food, mixes with cigarette smoke and dirty, moist handkerchiefs, slips into mouths like thousands of white worms, runs along hands, mixes with strands of hair, lingers on fingernails, devours eyes, clouds gazes, breaches the skin in its entirety, and leaves a permanent, invisible stain, a stain that grows inside one's veins, dirtying one's blood, tainting it with sadness, with death. This is perhaps the most difficult aspect of our work." ― Agustina Bazterrica, No Tears
