This was a uncomfortable and odd, sad read. The writing however is good.

DID NOT FINISH

I was not in the mental headspace to read this book. Will revisit at a later date!

Such a dreamy trip, I couldn't understand if it was real, fiction, ghosts or screenplays. Best read in a robe, with a cocktail.

Already savoring the pleasure of a second read.

A great book- so many layers of stories- of a movement, of specific people. The formatting of the book is quite inventive and I recommend reading a hard copy to get the full effect of images and text.

Interesting and I like the author’s voice. It did feel like a lot of unresolved writing—but he mentions in the afterword or what have you that not everything needs resolution.
