“Melt all the guns, I thought, break the knives, burn the guillotines-and the malicious will still write letters that kill.”
This is a well-written book about a writer, written in a writerly fashion - and if that sentence confused you, it touches on explaining why, at times, I had a hard time holding onto the story within these pages.
It's also about murder, loneliness, social change, urban decay, old movies, and poetry.
... and the ending is very satisfying.
