initial thought: masturbatory in all senses of the word
prolonged thought: Paul/Pauli is the person I needed when I was younger, always queer, and still find myself yearning alongside. Crass at times, yet soft. In moments, Paul shifts to Pauli, shifts from bartending to fucking to whiskey to not remembering everything that happened but remembering, even unwantedly. A must-read.
