As someone who grew up loving poetry and flying in a Cessna, this book is easily more accurate to the feeling of flying in an old four seater propeller plane than anything I've ever read. I didn’t have to read up on the author to know that he was a pilot. This might be the very best book that I would hesitat to recommend to others - the pacing is slow, and it takes an explicitly sexual turn in the second half of the book. Still, it's deeply beautiful, and the narrator's voice, while taking some getting used to, is just so awesome.
