Lee’s Reviews > Cry Macho: A Novel > Status Update

"Macho... He repeated it quietly, surprised at himself for enjoying a quiet sound more than a loud one. And the quieter he said it the deeper he could feel it, deeper and deeper."

"He must do something. For somebody. That was the secret. It was often the secret with him: to do something for somebody. It took him out of himself, it gave him, sympathetically, other people's feelings. It made him feel generous, made him feel worthy, that he had a right to ask something of life."
