“A most mediocre person can be the object of a love which is wild, extravagant, and beautiful as the poison lillies of the swamp.”
.
The object of love in this story is Cousin Lymon, a skinny-legged hunchback; his lover, Miss Amelia, a giantess with bones and muscles like a man. They are indisputably freaks, even by Southern Grotesque standards, and even by McCullers’ standard of freak.
.
Yet all this to strongly make the point that the experience of the lover is a universal one. Initial revulsion by Miss Amelia’s desire for Lymon turns into the uncomfortable realisation that her story is not so different from ours: “The beloved is only a stimulus for all the stored-up love which had lain quiet within the lover for a long time hitherto. And somehow every lover knows this. He feels in his soul that his love is a solitary thing. He comes to know a new, strange loneliness and it is this knowledge which makes him suffer.”
.
This powerhouse of a novel is only 80 pages long, making it ideal for @eatingtheirwords’ superb hashtag #shortpowerfulbooks. Do you have a favourite book that qualifies? Do share

Gloomy skies here in Nashville today, but things are starting to coalesce; I head off to NAMM in about a week, then come back to some sweet things in February: - my BIRTHDAY! (18th)
- I’ll be heading into the studio to track my first full length album - I have a weekly residency at @deeslounge615 Thursday’s 8-10 and some dates in Alabama
- more tour planning
Thanks for being on this ride with me || #bluetip || @oceanna HMUA @madeupbyliz

Yay finally joined @clemence_gouy s witch circle event! I really liked the colors she used in her original piece so I decided to use that color palette as well. For the clothing I took some inspiration from Beyonces southern Gothic style in her video formation.
Check out clemence account and the hashtag #clemwitchcircle , so many cool entries there! ✨
