This then is my story. I have reread it. It has bits of marrow sticking to it, and blood, and beautiful bright-green flies.
a hideous freak who fancies himself to be handsomely noble. The third quarter of this book is a serious drag, but I enjoyed it over all. Riveting & beautiful prose about someone you want to put under a hydraulic press. Some shockingly funny moments in here which ultimately highlight just how essential the narrator truly is to storytelling— a character whose word we often take for granted. Whoof!
