Enough is not enough, but it will have to do...

When the first woman got up and read her “inspired fairy-tale,” I was completely impressed. All of her words went straight to my imagination, and it was as if I could see the evil sunflower and pages growing from the ground. After she finished, Kate Bernheimer went up to the podium and decided that her own introduction to herself wasn’t as good as the previous introduction. She started right off into the book reading. The books she read from were from a series about the three Gold sisters: Merry, the oldest, Ketzia, the middle sister, and Lucy, the youngest. Though she only read from the first two books about Ketzia and Merry, you could easily see the relations between the stories in the books, and also you got a hint of the fairy tales. She said that she uses German, Russian, and English fairy tales. Throughout her reading, I sat debating what I thought of her writing. In my mind, it was quite odd intermixing riddles with her stories. Also odd were some of the quotes about the piano and guitar teacher. It made me wonder if he were the reason Merry became so cold later on in life. It seemed like the parts Kate chose to read somehow flowed into the next. She went from talking about the “ice walker” girl to how she was later in life, walking around the streets looking for vodka. The two were related by her feelings from the day she saw the girl fall through the ice. Overall, even though I thought her passages were quite odd, I still have this nagging feeling to read her books.
