This book reads like a long poem, with every line a gut punch.
I felt the desperate sadness of the narrator. I read this book in my own Brooklyn apartment. Seeing the names of familiar places in such an unfamiliar context was fascinating. I recommend this to anyone living in Brooklyn now. Take time to remember the people who form the history of your places. Recognize them.
