Nobody's Son: A Memoir
by Mark Slouka
challenging
dark
emotional
hopeful
reflective
sad
medium-paced
Beautiful, wrenching, thoughtfully and interestingly composed. An interrupted, doomed love story. Mentions of off page child sexual assault and domestic violence, animal cruelty on page.
“We don’t always remember what we deserve to, or want to. We remember what we have to, which isn’t quite the same thing. We remember because one memory has elbowed aside the others.”
And much later in the narrative: “Facts are just scaffolding for the heart.”
