Beautiful and I know has touched so many minds, but honestly sometimes I feel like it is over filled with references. Maybe I’m just criminally under-read, but sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the 3+ different literary/film/scholarly/location/religious/name drop references every page. I understand it is partially for memory’s sake, of the author and those lucky readers who understand the matters.
