« Le luxe, c’est aussi de pouvoir vivre une passion pour un homme ou une femme » (“Luxury is to live out a love affair for a man or a woman”)
Great little meditation on what it’s like to live through an all consuming affair, regardless of what the other does, to think about someone else incessantly, to live to wait for them. 
The French was super accessible, and I love her writing style and the self-conscious auto-fiction and reflections on how much of writing really is for ourselves vs for posterity.
