Transformer: The Complete Lou Reed Story by Victor Bockris

5.0

my summer with lou reed was so incredibly tumultuous writing anything would feel like taking an acid shower. i don't have nothing to say i have far too much to say. ew. anyways

this is a tragedy of someone who refuses to decentralize their suffering from their identity. i see him. the wounded part of me can't let go of the idea that i could have saved him. in lou i see myself. i see men of situations past where i was deluded of the same fixer-upper project. i see patriarchal cruelty. senseless, but it makes him feel big. i'm terrified of him. i'm afraid of everything. lou is a mirror.
