The way this book describes depression is really visceral and real, I especially like the phrase "hell for one"

"And when Ferocious Francis G. and the White Flaggers presented him, on the September Sunday that marked his first year sober, with a faultlessly baked and heavily frosted-one candle cake, Don Barely cried in front of nonrelatives for the first time in his life. He now denies that he actually did cry, saying something about candle-fumes in his eye. But he did."

"The truth will set you free, but not until it is finished with you."

MY BABY HAS SIX EYES AND BASICALLY NO SKULL

Really fucking hard to read period of like twenty pages btw, not because he's being verbose it's just so dark and depressing
