It really reads like a mind who’s gone to the frontiers of human experience and came back to report on the nothing and everything

The writing is so so beautiful… it’s such a surprising and surprisingly pleasant mix of twee sentiments and cringy masculinity mixed with unbelievably beautiful lines… e.g. the part about the planets shifting in Mr Lisbon’s classroom… and I think it describes quite well the confusion and sadness, the inability to draw a line from heart to heart, looking from the outside at suicide.
