Who was the author of the book?

Book is based on the movie 'Scent of a Woman': https://ru.wikipedia..._(фильм,_1992),someone translated it to russian in a version of a book, its name can still be googled. The movie was adapted by Bo Goldman from the Italian novel 'Il buio e il miele' by Giovanni Arpino.

 

I didn't read the original novel, but i highly doubt it is about a smelly woman.

Yes, I watched that movie back in 2012, it's a great film.

In other news, I asked ChatGPT about my bouts of heaviness in the left part of the abdomen starting 1 hr after meals and lasting for hours on end, accompanied by brain fog and weakness, and it suggested SIBO, among other things, so I'm trying to understand what SIBO is.

Word of the day: nychthemeron (24-hour day, calendar day). A quote by C.S. Pierce was posted by a friend online. /nɪkˈθi.mə.ɹɑn/, /nɪkˈθɛməɹɑn/ From Ancient Greek νυχθήμερον (nukhthḗmeron), from νύξ (núx, “night”) + ἡμέρα (hēméra, “day”).

 

If one who had determined to make trial of Musement as a favourite recreation were to ask me for advice, I should reply as follows: The dawn and the gloaming most invite one to Musement; but I have found no watch of the nychthemeron that has not its own advantages for the pursuit. It begins passively enough with drinking in the impression of some nook in one of the three Universes. But impression soon passes into attentive observation, observation into musing, musing into a lively give-and-take of communion between self and self. If one's observations and reflections are allowed to specialise themselves too much, the Play will be converted into scientific study; and that cannot be pursued in odd half-hours.

For the first time in my life, I see it clearly

I realize the power of being a woman

29 years old and time’s on my side

I'm in my prime, I've hit my stride

I got so much charisma, and so many options

It's nice to always have my pick

 

[Garfunkel]

There's nobody left!

I'm all alone!

 

[Oates]

I'm at the top of my game, possibilities are endless

And I just feel really pretty

I'm holding out for someone who meets my standards

Won't settle for anything less than perfect

I know what I want and I can have it

I'm surrounded by love and peace

 

[Garfunkel]

There's nobody left!

I'm all alone!

Why did I wait? What's wrong with me?

In two short years, I'm gonna be 33

Who the hell will want me then? My ovaries are shrinking

I'm disgusting and everyone feels bad for me

And I never get invited to dinner parties anymore

 

[Oates]

Things unfold when they're supposed to

'Cause everything happens for a reason

It’ll happen for me when I'm not even looking

He'll just appear and I'll just know

And he'll love me forever without any work

Who needs to try when things are meant to be

 

[Garfunkel (Oates)]

There's nobody left!

(I'm a catch just look at me)

I'm all alone!

(I'm smart and hot and have lots of interests)

You're such an idiot!

(The man of my dreams is definitely out there)

You think you're so special because people tell you that now

(He's my future, he's the one)

But that'll stop and be replaced with looks of pity!

(He was put on this Earth to make my life complete)

(The world is a buffet of love)

 

[Garfunkel]

Oh, what? You think biological reality doesn't apply to you

In your adorable cocoon of agelessness? Well, it does!

And while you're just waiting around and focusing on you

Guess what? You're gonna miss your window!

 

[Oates (Garfunkel)]

Everything happens for a reason

You know I truly believe that

(Yeah, you said that before)

Oh my God, it does, though

Everything happens for a reason

(What about the Haitian earthquake

Or cellulite on skinny women?)

 

Just say, "Hey universe, I'm ready"

It'll happen when you least expect it

(Well, I don't expect it at all now

So I guess it's right around the corner)

Maybe you're putting out the wrong vibe

Maybe you're closed off to love

Let me tell you a secret, it's called The Secret

(Here's another secret, you're an asshole)

 

[Oates]

Your negativity is a self-fulfilling prophecy

The reason things go well for me is 'cause of positivity

 

[Garfunkel]

Well, I'm positive fertility always begins to atrophy

When infantile fantasy eclipses true reality

 

[Oates]

It never once occurred to me that things won't work out perfectly

When God closes a door, you see, he opens a window

 

[Garfunkel]

You realize that’s a smaller opening, right?

You used to be able to just walk out a door

And now you have to climb out some slightly ajar window somewhere

Possibly falling like eight stories to your death

That is not an upgrade

And you know what else?

 

[Garfunkel (Oates)]

There's nobody left! (7 billion people on the planet)

I'm all alone! (My options will never ever run out)

I hate you! (I'm so happy, aren't you happy?)

You're so stupid! (I'm so happy)

 

[Oates]

You can't love someone else 'til you love yourself

You can't love someone else 'til you love yourself

You can't love someone else 'til you love yourself

You can't love someone else 'til you love yourself

 

'Cause life is good (Over)

[CopperKettle]

I feel myself like a corpse, because I see lots of people holding hands in the street, and lots of women. Maybe there are even people who actually have sex; have relationships, even have families and children. It's impossible to become alive.
