dark
mysterious
sad
medium-paced
If you read this as a fiction book with a few facts, it’s interesting, though a little chopped up.
Because the author meshes facts with fictional convos, it is hard to determine which are real facts based instances and which are fictional. So it should not be read as true crime.

I thought it was well written, but found all of the details on Vonnegut and Mailer distracting.
