Renee Gladman does a good job in a few passages of using language and metaphors; writing in a way which is furiously beautiful.

'The evening air is tender'

'The light is yellow'

The morning is a 'greener yellow at the start of the day but every moment growing golden'

This for me, portraying/relating things to color makes me appreciate the importance of experience. Almost as if we are born one way and slowly molded into our own color. Everything the narrative tries to do ends in failure, but still experience happens anyway. This is relatable fore me to times and failures where the important thing to do is to continue moving forward and learn from mistakes. It is like when something awful and constricting happens in your life and the only way to deal with it is to deal with it.

'Nothing happens, nothing happens, then everything is "said" to have happened...'

It's almost as if she is saying that structurally "eventually things happen suddenly". But pessimistically as well she could easily be saying that experiences are only so long, they come and go so quickly, stop giving them so much credit. It's almost as if she is discrediting memory as well. Like there is nothing we can do to stop time from clouding it. That we wait and wait for special moments only to be forgotten. This is quite a depressing concept. However, she may be saying enjoy life and let it happen rather than trying to force or recreate old happiness. Life will go its own way, you don't need a "map" or a guide, only instinct and an open mind.
