When I look in the mirror I... «The Blind Assassin»
innashpitzberg20 апреля 2012When I look in the mirror I see an old woman; or not old, because nobody is allowed to be old any more. Older, then. Sometimes I see an older woman who might look like the grandmother I never knew, or like my own mother, if she’d managed to reach this age. But sometimes I see instead the young girl’s face I once spent so much time rearranging and deploring, drowned and floating just beneath my present face, which seems – especially in the afternoons, with the light on a slant – so loose and transparent I could peel it off like a stocking.
