A review by grace_ann
A Bright Ray of Darkness by Ethan Hawke
3.0
There is no shortage of narcissistic male protagonists out there, what sets this book apart is that it doesn’t stay there. What follows is unfolding character development and an honest demonstration of how challenging the journey of being present and honest with ourselves can be.
.
Hawke has distilled his acute understanding of what it means to be an artist and performer into the book’s protagonist, William, rendering him eerily real and exceptionally believable.
.
I was, however, put off by the graphic sexual depictions sprinkled throughout. They were unnecessary and soiled the effort Hawke made to deliver an otherwise stunning book.
