book review
Rebecca
‘Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.’ A young bride becomes consumed by the haunting presence of her husband’s deceased first wife and the housekeeper who venerates her. Gothic, suffused with dread, and fundamentally concerned with how one woman’s identity dissolves beneath the weight of another’s memory.

One can be haunted by a woman never encountered, by a standard, by a phantom. Relinquish your competition with memory; it persists inexorable and indifferent to your striving.
this is one entry from a wandering list of films, books, shows and albums, kept by someone trying to live a slightly more deliberate life.
