i read Candy last year after watching the infamous Heath Ledger film adaptation and i wish i'd read it first. the film definitely does the novel justice, but to go through Luke Davies' words was truely an ethereal experience- for me anyway.
there were sentences and phrases i just wanted to underline or highlight (but couldn't because i borrowed the book from my cousin). i read and re-read them and posted them on my walls and made artworks about them and burned them into my memory.
yesterday i decided to extend my love of his words to my other one true love- of everything vintage and sweet.
this is what came of that venture...
