I read this over the course of about 4 hours, and initially I was struck by how vulgar it all was, and how much I felt like it relied on shock value and debauchery to illustrate the spiral that William endures. By the end of it, however, it becomes a treatise on the power of the theatre, and the value that comes from losing yourself in a production, while also adequately capturing the depression that comes with it ending. This book left me feeling drained but appreciative in an oddly compelling way.

You actually have to fight with your tenderness, your perceived weaknesses, your vulnerability, with love, with warmth... Absorb the contradiction with an open, loving, tender heart.
