This book has some of the most painfully heart wrenching paragraphs I’ve ever read.
I will be thinking about the ideas presented about what exists after we are gone forever. Or at least until I am gone.
Some parts of the book made less sense than others but it all felt like it was in service of the author making sense of the nonsensical death of someone close to him.
This was different than any other story of the HIV/AIDS epidemic I have read or seen. And I think it humanized the survivors in a way that is much less common, especially in a book that was still mostly about the dead.
