Stunning stunning book. An almost perfect novel for me. Everything read like poetry. A beautiful reminder to not take health and, just in general, life for granted. 

hmmmm what if we go back to Sofia and yearning for Mitko instead

this was one i read slower than most, one i didn’t want to end because it was just so beautiful to read. the way it ebbs and flows through the experience in a covid-impacted world and hospital to his experience with body image, being queer, being a writer, a lover and teacher of poetry. i so appreciated this book and will absolutely re-read for comfort in the future.

This was gorgeous. It read like a memoir but was so reflective and made me think about life and death in a very specific way.
