Ah, I decided to not update until I read the first chapter because holy shit. Baldwin is amazing at scene setting and just so lyrical and masterful at writing. Fuck. It always drives me so very crazy and makes me very emotional. He encapsulates within words such power, such immense power to talk about repression, subtle, obvious but repression all the same. Very powerful voice in literature, I love him.

Infidelity, bisexuality, queerness, oppression, adulthood, identity crisis, midlife crisis, economic crisis, stigma, breaking societal norms, hurt, pain, guilt, payback, dues. What else? Amazing discourses on each of these words, with such a great understanding of humanity. Like, characters don't feel like puppets for someone's cause but as if they really do exist, and feel so deeply as I do.

Baldwin knows how to write love, oppression, vulnerability, everything. He uses such potent metaphors that leave a mark on you forever. Nothing more can be said about this I think, it really just hits that hard, when you realise the implications and the construction. I am glad I picked this book up.
