What do I say about this book? Hmm....
It is definitely super atmospheric and nostalgic and dark. I kept have a picture in my head, of two middle aged men, good friends, in the early nineties, sitting in a sofa, telling stories while projecting black and white photos on a wall for their friends. And as fragments, snippets of an adventurous, troubled life, the book worked. As a novel, not so much.
I did like it, but didn't love it.
