oh man did I enjoy this read. It was not easy, not joyful, quite unrelenting in its awfulness and sadness. I loved the way this writer unspooled his life and the life of his father. Wow what a mess they are. His story telling is devoid of emotion and has not filler or fluff. You get the raw, real pain of homelessness and the cascade of decisions and opportunities made and lost that have brought them to the various stages they find themselves in. If you know Boston, definitely read this book. If you're interested in homelessness, the how, the why and the mechanics of it in an urban setting- definitely pick this book up. I learned a lot and I work in the legal field where housing crises are common and help is always needed. This book is a revelation. I loved it on many levels.
