Good book for the feeling of contemplation for loss, attachment to others, and fulfillment. Has odd sexual themes here and there but is otherwise related to themes of young-adulthood and mental illness, painting a good picture a chaos that comes from that combination. Very enjoyable portrayal of the late 60s era.
