He took only as much as he needed of something, and that was enough.
I read the first half utterly confused. I read the second half uncontrollably crying.
The doors of bland suburban houses now looked possible, outlined, pulsing—for behind any one of them could be hidden a bright and private glory.

I did not know the book (or the second half of it) is autofictional. I realized that just before the ending. The second half of the book is heartwarming and heartbreaking. Two halves are total opposites and it bothered me. Some connection would have been nice.
After all, I still kind of recommend the book.
