A diary of mourning that provides mental & emotional space for a person to sit with grief & its complexity. It's not a comforting read in that it doesn't try to make grief palatable. No platitudes here. It's Barthes thinking through the chaos of his grief after his mother's death. But it's a comfort nevertheless because someone seems to be able to see into you & put some of that mess into words. ❤️ Barthes. #death #JuneBookBugs @RealLifeReading
