This book is the salt in your wounds...and the air in your lungs.

Well f*** me, I read the whole prologue and can’t brag about it because prologues don’t technically have page numbers.

It’s another, oft-attempted re-read of this richly-detailed chronicle of some pretty extraordinary insights into incomprehensible personal tragedy. My first favorite nonfiction book.

I often have to get my bearings straight before digging in, because it’s good, but man, it’s a doozy.
