I saw someone describe this book as drinking wine with the narrator, David, and that is precisely what it is.
Also, it is very interesting to see the writing style change, depending on the information the narrator shares with us. As soon as we get too deep, he pulls away. Very cool detail.

One day I’ll weep for this. One of these days I’ll start to cry.
