His writing is immaculate, lots of ideas and thoughts that got me thinking, about life, death and what we, as humans, do to each other
That being said, i think it wasnt something ground-breaking, maybe it did when it was first released, so it came as an easy, a little bit tedious read for me
I must say, while I don’t really relate to the George, the way he dissociated (?) created a bond with his soul (?), his mind, in a way. so even though he died, i don’t mourn him, i know he’s fine, that’s not George. George’s lived on. and that’s what makes this work hopeful
