Bevitron – Oh no, gout!!!! The word itself is so deeply awful. I hope you never ever have to experience that again! You know what else we don’t want? Shingles or kidney stones. Let’s agree to not get those, okay?

Sister Wolf, I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with the broken rib, it sounds horrible, ribs being those kinds of bones that you can’t really immobilize, and every breath a reminder. My broken bone catalog contains only one entry – the proximal phalange on my left second toe, in 1981 – and it felt like it was going to kill me. It took the full six weeks to be able to “walk” without a big thick slab of wood strapped to my sole, since toes are hard to keep still if you plan to use your foot. I thought I had reached some kind of pain ceiling with that until 5 years ago when I had gout – GOUT, for chrissakes!! – in a big toe joint and had to draw up a whole new agony chart.

Isn’t it annoying as hell when other people bitch about their own pain shit in a misguided attempt to make yours seem minimally displaced and less terrible and life-altering? Like it will somehow ratchet the horror of it all down a few notches and you’ll jump up and realize what a big sissy you’ve been about it? I want to read the book but I’m not sure if I have the courage, because I AM a big sissy, on so many levels. I probably will, eventually, on the strength of your praise.

The internet probably has ruined life as we know it, and you are not nuts. You’re smart, and thoughtful, and compassionate, and your rib hurts, and pain turns enchanting unicorn meadows into rivers of molten brimstone. I know, I’ve had gout.

Mina – It was written in English, and isn’t particularly hard to read. If you have read other novels in English, you can read this one too!

I‘m so thankful for literature.
A cig, a book. I am ready to defeat the next day.
Impatient to read it. Just tell me one thing, am I capable to read it in original language or do I have to get a translation?
