Bohumil Hrabal: Bambini di Praga 1947

“there are stains which cannot be cleaned without disrupting the structure of the fabric”

This quote demonstrates Hrabal’s art of aestheticization of banal phrases. The phrase is a a quote from an advertisement for a laundry detergent, but he gives it a completely different context and revives latent meanings in it, thus allowing it to come alive.

Intro

To be very honest, the main reason I created this blog is to be able to communicate with my boyfriend (who has no social media other than tumblr) in another way than via email.

But I also want to take this as an opportunity to create an online storage of my favourite art, music, literature and other such things (as well as my own art) - to have them in one place for myself, and for others who may be interested.

I used to have a tumblr as a teenager and I did not think I would ever return to this platform, but I am feeling quite excited and nostalgic about it. I look forward to this experience.
