Mysterious Skin
by Scott Heim
"Why now?" Neil asked. "Why do you need this now? Why did you search me out?"
"I'm tired of it," I said. "I want to dream of something else for a change.
The need to dream of something new, after reckoning with the past is what this book leaves us with. Trauma will always be with us, but it doesn't have to consume us. We can move on, if we deal with the reality of it.
I think I just really love the ending of this novel, for reasons I can't really explain fully.
