If they have to be felt in full, my simplest feelings take plenty of hours and sleep and non-activity to be felt in entirety. Perhaps even days, who is to say, how can I be even certain?

So far, I couldn’t bear to read anything related to World War 2. Some accounts here and there I may have read anyway but not much considering how immense the event was.
I read Laurent Binet’s THE 7TH FUNCTION OF LANGUAGE some time back. I couldn’t put it down, one cracking story with plenty of academic heroes filling the book. Now it’s time for HHhH.
//
Two men have been enlisted to kill the head of the Gestapo. This is Operation Anthropoid, Prague, 1942: two Czechoslovakian parachutists sent on a daring mission by London to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich – chief of the Nazi secret services, ‘the hangman of Prague’, ‘the blond beast’, ‘the most dangerous man in the Third Reich’. His boss is Heinrich Himmler but everyone in the SS says ‘Himmler’s brain is called Heydrich’, which in German spells HHhH.HHhH is a panorama of the Third Reich told through the life of one outstandingly brutal man, a story of unbearable heroism and loyalty, revenge and betrayal. It is a moving and shattering work of fiction.

What a triangulation! Folks jostling in queues flouting all Covid19 social distancing protocols to buy liquor, folks on social media criticizing these liquor lovers comparing them to Tablighi folks, soldiers dying at the borders fighting terrorists.

I feel a listlessness all through the day, all the time though loving the silence that surrounds me. With food taken care of, in spite of the sweating induced by 40+ kind of temperatures, it’s been blissful in a way.

Social distancing has ensured that I no longer feel that close to my friends. We all talk funny things in the name of friendship. And the memories we build feel like stunted buildings.
