mourning diary by roland barthes


it has been some time since i've posted and it's been some time since i've finished a book. and so, finally, i finished reading mourning diary by roland barthes last night.

the day after his mother died, in october 1977, he began a diary of mourning. for nearly two years, he took notes on index cards and reflected on his loss.

they are a unique study of grief...snippets of thoughts and feelings, intimate, and sad.
