He lost his life in an unspeakably tragic way in his early twenties. I wish he could have survived his twenties and made it through as Junot Días so movingly describes. I wish he could have survived until the time came when men could openly discuss these things. /x

Thank you, Junot Días, for your beautifully painful and necessary essay. /end

Good lord, what a piece to start on Monday, it's a “soul burner”; beautifully devastating. I hope X got to read it and understand what happened at Amherst.
