A review by rastephe
Spy of the First Person by Sam Shepard
4.0
Vivid and sad, written by the author as he was dying from ALS.
"I'm not trying to prove anything to you. I'm not trying to prove that I was the father you believed me to be when you were very young. I've made some mistakes but I have no idea what they were. And I've never desired to start over again. I have no desire. Maybe we should meet as complete strangers and talk deep into the night as though we'd never seen each other before. All we know is that there is something reminiscent, something mysteriously connected. Sometimes."
