I wanted to read this because I had heard about the author and the circumstances around this publication were intriguing. But this ended up being a  really rough read for me. It was dragging, with constant, repetitive self destruction and so much jumping around I didn’t always understand what was happening. A lot of it seemed so deep that I would need to read it multiple times to understand…but I don’t ever wish to read it again.
