Stupid way to end the book. Don’t call it an epilogue if it’s actually your conclusion bitch

Best chapter easily

Stricken once again by how, “New York BAYBEE” this whole book is. Even the extensive passages about Ireland somehow still feel like they’re about nyc

Let’s dance

The information is good; the narrative passable, but I again have to question the choice of theming as it relates to modality. The book is not a chronological timeline whatsoever. But the twisting narratives of these side by sides doesn’t effectively connect. We began with Leonard Cohen, moved to Czeslaw Milosz, and end with Mr. Berrigan, who we’ve met already. These men have never met! They are unrelated

We’re losing focus here. The business about New Orleans was good, the rest less so

So far, the historical intricacies are interesting. I like making these pairings and comparisons, and the connection to the social/religious contemporaries is good. I am somewhat concerned with the nature of the theming chapter wise. Much of the spirituality of Catholicism is mysterious by nature, it cannot be described so easily within a chapter that discusses the true reality of desire within Christianity
