war, the search for identity, love and loss, the fragility and the resilience of human spirit, with a thin layer between reality and allegory.. easily one of the most poetic novels i have read

i picked up this book when i was travelling through albania, apparently the writer sadly passed away the day i bought it… did i curse him or ???
anyways, the book is about a young man stuck in a blood feud between two families that has been going on for years -according to the code of kanun. and arghh its so good!!! albanian culture is really fascinating
i really recommend this for those interested in albanian culture.. which you should be since the country is pretty unknown, yet very beautiful and definitely deserves more recognition. also its a pretty short read
i included a link to a wikipedia page about the blood feuds for those interested

just finished this morning while sitting outside my apartment with a cup of coffee and an american spirit and holy shit the last chapter may have been one of the most devastating vibes i've felt... just like all of history, everything that's mattered, swept into oblivion by the closures of story, prophesy, and family lines... so so so good u should read it but be warned that every paragraph in this book is full to the brim with activity, everything feels as if its happening all at once for the entire four hundred something pages

obviously a little immoral. don’t pirate every book you read. physical books are cooler anyway. but having access to such a wealth of information for free is so beautiful and shouldn’t be demonized. being able to find & read out of print or rare books through torrenting or little downloads is bonkers. people a century ago couldn't have dreamt of something like this

songs stink. insane amount of product placement. does that thing where it tries (& fails) to portray tiktok/social media and it just comes off as embarrassing. confusing target demographic. only went to see it because i felt like going to the theater w/my friend. not worth the money at all. spend ur time watching something better
