Having known next to nothing about this book, I decided to read it on a whim after having recently gotten into (and cried over) the musical Falsettos—which, you know, certainly is a decision I made, to say the least. In the end, though, whatever karmic fate led me to make that decision knew what it was doing, because, god, sometimes the parallels between them, between their characters, was almost overwhelming. Tin Man was practically Marvin and Whizzer, if Whizzer was a European poet and Marvin never had a kid. Marvin and Whizzer if they were nicer, if they were younger. Marvin and Whizzer if they had more time to waste and more love to fill their lives with.
Maybe I’m just interjecting my current hyperfixation into everything around me, or maybe this really is going somewhere; it’s too late at night for me to tell. I certainly can tell, however, that, despite the late time on my clock, this was a lovely book with lovely writing and absolutely tragic characters. Aka, just the way I like my stories.
