First, and 2 more sections. Two looks at Tony’s domestic life, both his recovery time with his semi-neglectful parents and him living with spreading cancer while living with his wife and son.
The sections are really good at slamming an emotion after getting into specifics. It’s also neat how willfully rules of prose are broken. “I think his wife told me one time he cried he won’t see his son grow up.”

18/27 it’s neat how the order you pick stuff in can feel right even tho it’s not intentional. How you can feel like the narrator is ruminating or distracting himself just by the ways the chapters neighbor each other. I will say the slice of cancer patient life stuff feels better to me, tho in a boring section about pretending to care about soccer there was a neat narration illustrating the process of typing.

7/27 read both sections that cloudcuckoocountry earned about. One of them was only 4 pages and therefore a lot more tolerable. The longer one, 12 pages, was a hard sit tho. At least those two sections were the only two he recommended to skip. All sections more about the narrator’s issue. 2 about sex one about a near car accident.
