Eliane Brum, Diane Grosklaus Whitty: Banzeiro Òkòtó (2023, Graywolf Press) No rating

I destructured in the Xingu and went to pieces. And going to pieces is risky, because once it happens there’s no going back. It means you can no longer conform to a single-minded structure, and so you’ll never go back to feeling comfortable, perhaps you won’t even go back to being coherent. You’ll find yourself dis-conformed. Before, you had been deformed by form, but once you are dis-conformed, you can transmute into multiple forms, and this is amazingly scary.

Christine Montalbetti: L'évaporation de l'oncle (French language, 2011, P.O.L.) No rating

"Et puis il y avait la pemière aube. L'oncle l'avait vue se lever sur les paysages, non plus ceux, qu'il avait derrière lui désormais, de la maison du frère et de ses alentours, mais les champs, les rizières, qui se révélaient lentement, comme ils le font dans le bain photographique du début du jour."
