"We managed to see the pockmarked moon steaming silently across space, then blue venus, but when we turned the telescope on Lux's window it brought us so close we couldn't see a thing. What at first appeared the xylophone of her spine, curled in bed, turned out to be decorative molding. A stringy peach pit, left on her bedside table from a time of fresh food, gave rise to a number of lurid conjectures. Any time we caught sight of her, or of something moving, the piece was too small to put the puzzle together, and in the end we gave up, retracting the telescope and relying on our eyes."

Yeah, I definitely see the influence. That reminds me, I should read the Virgin Suicides considering how much I loved Middlesex.

ReplyDeletePerfect timing for me! Just finished the book this morning. And you are so right.
ReplyDeleteThat mask is so dreamy. And agree, the whole collection here has a Lux feel to it. Great use of quotation.
ReplyDeleteLux is my favourite character from TVS, and I can feel the Lux vibe in these pics. Love the first one, and the mask (L)
ReplyDeletekisses
Or Maybe Lux Lisbon's distant cousin who lives in an urban wasteland trapped in her own thoughts.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these photos.
