Rereading Grass Dancer and I rly have to say that the first chapter is such a great start to the book. It sets the tone for the entire book afterwards, the way everyone’s lives intersect with each other, the feeling of something missing, the way magic is interwoven into the story, so on.

#psy's no punctuation posts #reading tag #chapter 1 also has some of my favorite imagery in the novel #cause that bit after Harley finds out Pumpkin dies where he hides in the bathroom and paints tears all over his face is so good #recontextualizes his powwow costume and what it represents for him #maaan.#also really excited cause the next chapter I’m on is the moonwalker oneee #i read the first line and knew instantly what I had and was hype #i went to sleep before I read that one though bcs j was starting to fall asleep #but like idk I love the start of that chapter. idk why it’s so iconic #the Frank start sets the tone to be melancholic but it winds up being a triumph instead?#cause the first sentence is simply ‘Margaret Many Wounds was dying’ and it sticks with me idk
