suspendedinair's review against another edition
5.0
This book took me a shiny, beautiful eternity to read, because every ten lines or so I had to pause, inhale deeply, sigh and stare out of my window until I could regain composure. I mean: it was gorgeous.
The relationship between RMR and LAS is a complex but soothing one a lot of mediocre souls will spend their entire lives searching for. Messy and shifting mix of mentor, apprentice, lover, stranger, friend, pen-pal and colleague.
Read it and swoon as RMR and LAS both mature, while sharing breakdowns, secrets, critiques, observations, ego-strokes, ego-breaks, desires and frustrations in a most devoted manner that spans decades.
Yea. Some quotes to entice you:
"If people happen to be present they offer me the relief of being able to be more or less the person they take me for, without being too particular about my actual existence..." -RMR
"You are still struggling to achieve childhood again." -LAS
"...but you know how it really was, and that I only wanted to help you. But that's something people can't do for each other. Only remain loyal in the deepest, most fundamental sense." -LAS
"To let all this slip past without / desiring" -RMR
