Homecoming Quotes

You wouldn't understand my works. You wouldn't appreciate the points of reference. You're way behind. All of you. You'd be lost. It's nothing to do with a question of intelligence. It's a question of how far you can operate on things and not in things. I mean it's a question of your capacity to ally the two, to relate the two, to balance the two. To see, to be able to see! I'm the one who can see.

wtf did I just read... I'm not even sure how to rate this... I'm confused and pretty mad. 😡

Mr.Okada Somehow your comment makes me interested in it :) 7y
ephemeralwaltz @Mr.Okada it's a very interesting portrayal of a dysfunctional family but the play goes in a very perturbed direction and made my angry on so many different levels.. 7y
Mr.Okada @ephemeralwaltz I see, sounds heavy indeed. A right mood required then I guess. Thanks for the comment! 7y

I know the stage has many a fucked up family, but that? I'm not even sure what I just read. And it won a Nobel prize?! I was all about the dialogue, but I can't process the end. Edit: I won't lie though. Part of the attraction of reading it was getting to imagine Ian Holm as a young, vile man. So it lived up to that! 😖
