Simply a stunning object of literature and art. The layout of the book underscores its existence as an art object as well as a slice of devastatingly important historical literature. I picked it up and did not put it down, literally, until I had finished the final page. I loaned it to friends and they had the same experience. This book takes its place among the breaths of writing that change all who interact with it. This is a book to be loved.

Excellent timing, book was in described condition at a fair price. Much appreciated. Only problem was the writing in the book, I am not sure if I missed this in the description but it has been distracting when trying to work with the text. Overall, though, fantastic.

This is not your typical fiction or even non-fiction book. I understand this book to be loosely autobiographical, which makes it even more fascinating. I read this book in two hours -- I could not put it down. I have since read it two more times and will read it again, as there is so much to grasp. It is painful, gripping, strange, and beautiful.
