An excellent book! I picked this short novel up randomly at a library book sale, not knowing much about it. Typically I sway more towards reading sci-fi, fantasy, or horror. This…is something definitely different for me.
The story is a wonderful mix of a hard times tale and actual poetry intertwined in quick sharp chapters. The main character is no hero by any means. He is a broken poet that suddenly finds himself on the wrong side of the law, mainly due to his own life choices. How easy it is for someone touting love using his words to suddenly be violently throwing bottles and lashing out.
The perfect summation of the plot comes from the following quote towards the end of the book.
“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.”
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Fascinating. I really enjoyed the way it was word crafted and put together.
