I re-read Land of Mirrors by Maria Medem, a stunning and dreamlike graphic novel.

Six-panel comic in a surreal, colorful landscape. A purple figure stands still beside a rock and two red berries as the sun sets. Their shadow stretches long across the ground. Text in the fourth panel says, "Today I have the same problem as yesterday." In the final panel, the figure is gone. Text reads, "It seems it will not be solved anytime soon!"

I finished reading Ballerina by Patrick Modiano and translated by Mark Polizzotti. This one passage stuck with me:

Most of the time, during our walks throughout Paris or on bus rides, we didn’t speak. The silence between us was a much stronger bond than words. We were like those people who walk side by side, never saying a thing but always taking the long way around.
