I was surprised to find out that this book is close to autobiographical, but I found that to be an interesting way to keep the storytelling fresh as it allows readers to establish a different lens for a fictional story.

It was going perfect but the final chapters were a mess. And in the final pages it was like the author got tired to write.
Also, the character of Demian's mother didn't add to the story and the main plot. Much less the reciprocal romantic love between her and Sinclair. It seems at the same time an excuse to deny the gay subplot and a projection of the authors desires. It only explains itself as a dream state of the protagonist.
