My favorite book. I think about it all the time. DW Yarbrough is my best friend. ”the Good Lord decided to make DW Yarbrough a Catholic, a liberal, ugly and gay and a fair poet, and then had him born in Waco, Texas. Now I ask you, is the work a serious Deity?” the greatest sentence written in all of literature. BUT THE SPARROW STILL FALLS. I think about that all the time. This book has shaped me. It is horrific, moving, funny, devastating. Religious tones and discussions but done from all sorts of perspectives: catholic, jewish, agnostic, atheistic.

The ending is a bit abrupt, it really took away from the rest of the story as Emilio seemed to recover too soon from the revelation of events. Took away from the rest of the story imo
