It is Oliver’s fourth and final year at Dellecher, a Shakespearean focused Art School. Only 7 theater majors remain for this final year, at this point they are more like family than friends. Except as the year progresses tensions start to rise.

“I need language to live, like food—lexemes and morphemes and morsels of meaning nourish me with the knowledge that, yes, there is a word for this. Someone else has felt it before.”

“Anything can feel like punishment if it’s taught poorly.”

I would have loved this book when I was younger, but I'm not a huge fan. the first 150 pages did nothing but describe dark academia in the most pretentious and stereotypical way possible, and even after it picked up I felt like I was reading a TSH knock-off. if you're reading for the aesthetic/mood it will probably be perfect for you. as long as you can tolerate shakespeare.

this book left me so simultaneously hollowed and overwhelmed that i’m unsure what to do with myself. do with that what you will.
