Gaps, twists, elisions, and warped reflections make up the meat of this nostalgic, lonely, alone-feeling book. You might be fooled by the plain and only occasionally lovely writing, but a strong authorial hand is controlling the text. This book is like a single piece of paper you flip over again and again, but keep seeing new information on, as if there are two dozen pages folded accordion-like inside this one sheet. Great sex writing also, from the rapturous to the nauseating.
