Here the main character is not a hero, he is a dealer-proxo-prostitute-killer-junkie-tattooed DARK ... What !!! Heroin (no pun intended) is a nurse, a kind of Mother Theresa who sacrifices his life to take care of a schizophrenic father caricature .... ??? Well no !!!!
The author resonates these two characters, it does not amend, he regrets nothing, it does not change .... it ends up being just accept and assume its "self" ... When her deep, it does not seek to reform it but agrees to have desires and selfish beings may be healthy !!!
But the great theme of the book is undoubtedly mourning in all these states ... mourning adolescent illusions, mourning innocence, mourning mental health, a sense of mourning and eventually mourning all Loading ...
An excellent book, a hinge for the author describes a very rich dense universe with ever more elaborate mythology, characters increasingly searched and a plot led to a train of hell !!!
Sticky and less Manichean than the previous book addresses some ambiguous relationship ... gay, bisexual, orgiastic, SM, nonconsensual ....
I loved .... but you really be bothered to read it in large size ... I wait for the paperback read more comfortably !!!
A devour !!!
