My husband asked me what this book was about and I burst into tears. I cannot believe it took me this long to read this book. It took me a day- one because it's short and two because it is enthralling. He's a brilliant writer with a devastating and insightful store of life experience and intellect. This book is a blood letting. His fear for his young son, to whom he writes this, is palpable. His wisdom and rage both feel like living things. What a triumph.
