this writer has a knack for introspection, and a visceral depiction of someone whose faith affects how he's able to take up room in this world and how guilt and shame (and to a degree wanting to break with tradition and not knowing how, and getting stuck in that), along with social stigma, and how this violence done to him is being handed down by his own hands to everyone he loves. still found him annoying as hell :'

i feel that introspection is the shining point of this novel, i enjoy the meandering in general. i just have to constantly remind myself to not hold any expectations for this character, but unfortunately his (casual) misogyny and undoubtedly his middle class background do not help. i think this arrogance paired with passionate suffering is quite common, i just don't find it all that interesting to observe hmm

goodness i really don't enjoy this narrator, and the main character so far... i fear the scene in dumbo in which he accidentally imbibes alcohol and goes through a nightmare still affects me (made me intolerant of long scenes detailing the effects of any drug on someone :/)
