"Sometimes it’s inevitable for the past to be forgotten, especially if the present is no less horrific.”

This was not an easy read, but an important one. It was a really interesting structure with a lot of symmetry and dichotomy. I really felt the importance of the title in so many ways throughout the novella. Looking forward to reading it again to pick up on more of the symbolism. This feels like a book I would have really enjoyed picking apart in a literature class.
