recommended to me by my cousin and she lowkey changed my life … so surreal and bonkers. a woman on the brink of madness trying to find her voice. a portion of the book is just an extended nightmare sequence. love it. there's a film adaptation starring isabelle huppert as well that i love

Answering my own ask because i realised I hadn't recd this incredible book. I listened to the audiobook (linked), read by the author. A memoir mixed with outstandingly thorough film criticism. it’s an incredible piece of work, spanning the history of the “psychotic woman” in the horror film genre. Amazing to see someone‘s obsession become something so beautifully tangible.

just finished the maggie gyllenhaal audiobook which was so entertaining. so well written and so insightful into the minutiae of being a girl. the magnifying glass she uses to describe her surroundings and feelings! she can't sleep and she can't read! the metaphors!!! so tragic to think how she overcame this but still came to such a sad end :( and even worse to think of how hard she was on herself and how revered she is now

& am reminded of when i read Walk Through Walls on the plane and suddenly wanted to throw myself against the cockpit door, naked, reciting my artist statement, engraving a pentacle on my stomach, whilst spitting pretzels at my audience (passengers) as they silently applauded my minimalist engagement of the psyche.
this is all to say i highly recommend reading her memoir.
