Really interesting read. I loved the second section and really enjoyed the first (particularly upon some reflection after reading the second section, which illuminates certain elements of the first in greater detail), but I was a little lost towards the end. I understand that that was intentional on the author’s part, though. Goetz’ writing style is phenomenal and does an excellent job of putting you inside the mind of

someone slowly going insane

. Not for the faint of heart!
