Self-indulgent writing at times, which seems cruel to say about such a personal book, but it's true. This is the only Blake Butler prose that is tolerable to read, as far as I can tell, but some of the passages still are exhausting to the point it really drags the reader down. Otherwise fascinating, tender, beautiful, stirring.
