i likes this work. it was hard to read at times and utterly sad, but a beautiful memorial to Jane’s memory.

Thinks of all the things we ask and wonder when we feel death as that poignant push into some kind of ether. The world looks a bit different, and it's in the mystery, in all the hypotheticals, does Nelson search for some kind of solace in research and reaching out.

Lethargic, heartfelt, and experimental in form, Nelson essentially does what Capote did with the Clutter family for our contemporary world.
