I read The Pain Artist recently. Your fascinating story and writing techniques truly made it a page turner. I have an intimate relationship with pain and could easily relate with your protagonist. I was fascinated by the very different ways Lilly and the supporting characters were dealing with their lives. They are all memorable. I could picture everything like a movie. Pretty Bird was a delightful character.
His new occupation as a Pain Artist was a shocker. At first I was freaking out but I learned to accept his path as a hard-won occupation and a unique way to connect with the outside world. Then seeing Lilly again, feelings of emotional pain returned with "all this stupid caring." he asks, How can people go on in this world? How can they continue to be? Now he is on his own. The old man has pointed him in the direction of consciousness and moral values and has gone silent. The young man is asking important questions. He is growing up.
Thanks for a really good read.
