Such a compact story. The details are so trim & neat. The story so breathtakingly beautiful with this raw noir tone. It’s visceral and yet yearning. The narrator’s life is bleak but not broken by his fate. Is there hope? That’s up to interpretation.

In all seriousness though, I did enjoy this book. It ended far too suddenly though!
