Christina Tudor-Sideri

to dwell in the paradoxical simultaneity of desire and void

“It is the edge separating my tongue from the taste for which it longs that teaches me what an edge is.” Eros the Bittersweet, Anne Carson

“I follow/I am the edge of your text. It is jagged, rocky, foamy with waves, salty…” Insister of Jacques Derrida, Hélène Cixous; tr. Peggy Kamuf

Nostalghia by Andrei Tarkovsky

"As Kubrick reshot many scenes of his final film in the spring of 1998 (watch closely how Tom Cruise’s haircut changes, though what was shot first or second is fairly impossible to tell), I began my long career in social services..."medium.com/p/7faaede20d97…

A Bacovian afternoon: in the armchair, tired, deep in rivers of silk, reading a decadent poem. « On dort à l’ombre depuis longtemps, dans le cimetière violet. »

@dreamsofbeing_ Your book is coming this week!

“If you are the dreamer, I am what you dream. But when you want to wake, I am your wish, and I grow strong with all magnificence and turn myself into a star’s vast silence above the strange and distant city, Time.” —Rilke; tr. Stephen Mitchell

@opheliasings Yes...

@dreamsofbeing_ How I have always loved this Rilke quote in Mitchell´s wonderful translation.....

— and no time passes. Christina Tudor-Sideri, Disembodied

Four years, four pages. A novel born out of the question: What if one could experience one’s death? Or rather, How does one live with this impossibility? The first of the impossibilities. Disembodied remains one of the most intense writing moments of my life. To the forgotten.

“it cannot be the task of the writer to deny pain” —Ingeborg Bachmann

ICYMI -- my new article on nature + the atom. In this text, I explore the classic paradox of thinking nature without subject. Send me a DM if you need access. 💥
