Haunting. So intense. Ambitious AF in scope and technique, and for the most part Goldberg pulls it off. Impressive.

Impossible to describe, at least for me. I'd call it a heads-on exploration of obsession and its costs. A strong commitment, to art, freedom, political expression, is how we make the world a better place; it also takes a toll on us and those we love. Is it worth it? Do we have a choice?

The narrative gimmick is effective: the different voices are unique, consistent, and memorable. This is an it-gets-better book: even though it starts off strong, there were moments when I wasn't sure it would work. It did, and I dare say your perseverance will be rewarded.

Two personal notes: first, what an unexpected counterpart to , my book just before this! That one about connection, this one with so much loneliness. Second, in high school I was heavily into photography: camera everywhere, hours in the darkroom. So it's possible that this book speaks to me in ways it won't to everyone.
