The Gormenghast Novels
by Mervyn Peake
Buy on AmazonFuschia was my dream. This idea of infinite, of unreal, of dying innocence… At the time I was considering myself as her, as a victim. Now my fascination has turned into anger. I want to shake her, to put her out of her contemplative passivity. But this is all a question of age. It’s normal, as a teenager, to love this idea of being a victim, the whole world is against me, no one understands me except my books. Lots of my reading connected with that.
