I wish I wish I wish

I found a beautiful circle of people the other day. It started when I came across Annemarie Schwarzenbach, a stunning Swiss androgynous beauty, who wrote and photographed. My dream woman, essentially. I mean, just look at her:


Here she sits with Ella Mailart
 If she looks gaunt, it's because she was addicted to morphine throughout much of her life.
 Her outer fragility only aggrandizes her inner strength.
 After falling in love with her, I discovered Carson McCullers, an American writer who also fell in love with Annemarie. 

And from there I learned of the Mann family, with whom she was very close throughout her life, Erika and Klaus in particular.

 Her works were written in German, and only a sparse few were translated into English. I want to read them all.

 Her life was a wonder to read. I highly recommend it.
