Wow! I’m really excited about this. There’s so much I like about this. So few pages and so much has happened already. The language is poignant, graphic, evocative. What appears is the image of a deeply troubled man. It was really heartbreaking to read about the self-denial. So beautiful beautiful but also cruel - the depth and substance of this surpasses a heap of other books I’ve read. I’m in awe.
