The Red Arrow is a deeply introspective and personal book that somehow remains relatable throughout. The prose is intentional, clean and crisp and satisfying. It is, best of all, completely unlike anything I have read before. A strange journey, on the Frecciarossa (seat 12D, etc.), and one that I look forward to taking again.

3.5 i enjoyed it and i think brewer’s prose is great but at a certain point it felt repetitive and obsessed with itself

I think Brewer is talented in writing but, didn't care very much for where the story went. the sections recounting the Great Chemical Spill were probably my favourite and the most gut-wrenching horrifying bit of writing in here. I also feel like the description of depression is ON POINT. But I wouldn't recommend anyone I know read this because it's like a great big diary entry of someone getting magically better after one dose of medicine and then everything becomes a breeze (read:boring).

hovedpersonen kurerer tjue års depresjon med én dose psilocybin, men for meg var boka bare en lang bad trip
