Amazing book. I want Burns to write some poetry. Extremely poetic prose, while using very accessible language. While it was easy to read, the depth of the prose and the imagery used was wonderful.
This story was sad, beautiful, and real. Digging deep into our identity and the rifts created there by longing vs belonging, our exploration of faith and its impact on others, and the things we believe about the people we know vs the reality of who they are.
Each character in Shiner is its own dissertation on the human experience and psyche.
Read it.
