Is it wrong of me to say that this experience of Catholicism was both completely alien and disturbingly, painfully familiar to me? Henry Henry reminded me a lot of A Little Life.

One of the best new releases I’ve read in a while. Read this on a whim and I’m so impressed with the prose and complexity of the characters.

That quote that was like “rich people are bad at hedonism.” Yeah. In the words of Hunter Biden: fuck it fuck it all. DNF’ing mostly because the author writes in a manner that makes me feel like I have severe comprehension issues.
