…Franco’s years in Morocco…By the time he became Brigadier General in 1928, he was a master of violence…I finally understood that the violence meted out by Europeans within Europe is rooted in the violence meted out by Europeans beyond Europe.

Those gloves…for women's hands? Is this why I bristle at the fluffy yellow dusters...the can of Mr Sheen? I have seen many things in my life...But I have never seen a man shaking Mr Sheen or taking a yellow cloth to a bookshelf...or a mantle….

Fourth book for #GuadalupeReinas 2025: #SpentLight by #LaraPawson from #CBeditions. It's like Ellmann's 'Ducks, Newburyport' had a baby with Andersson's 'A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence.' Brutal.

I asked her if she really believed that a wafer and a cup of wine could be the flesh and blood of Christ…
She told me about a conversation she’d had with a priest…Anglicans are content to fire blanks,he’d explained, Catholics use live ammunition.
While gazing at three pairs of black knickers drying in a row on the red radiator downstairs, I realized I was looking at Hitler’s fringe…black hair swept to one side…the narrow finger of Hilter’s forelock trembling above his eye as he stands behind a lectern….

…Franco’s years in Morocco…sent there as a junior officer…By the time he became Brigadier General in 1928, he was a master of violence…I finally understood that the violence meted out by Europeans within Europe is rooted in the violence meted out by Europeans beyond Europe.

I asked her if she really believed that a wafer and a cup of wine could be the flesh and blood of Christ…
She told me about a conversation she’d had with a priest, some years back…Whereas Anglicans are content to fire blanks, he’d explained, Catholics use live ammunition.
