A Severed Head

Iris Murdoch
Ricardo Alberto Maldonado 🇵🇷Ricardo Alberto Maldonado 🇵🇷

reading Murdoch’s A Severed Head for a summer-long course with @sarahchihaya — and what’s in the brain today is the idea of the novel as a thing of velocity; this one, in particular, a quick blood-letting.

The Blue Flower

Penelope Fitzgerald
Ricardo Alberto Maldonado 🇵🇷Ricardo Alberto Maldonado 🇵🇷

Experiencing a kind of joy while reading Mazoni’s Betrothed (transl by @michaelfmoore1) that reminds me of Penelope Fitzgerald, especially The Blue Flower — the scene has Renzo entering Milan and stumbling upon a flour revolt — a metamorphoses. 10/10
