that my perspective on it keeps shifting means to me that it's doing something powerful, even if I'm still not sure what exactly it is
-
Yes, whatever this story *is*, it is definitely a powerful one

the fact that he died just after writing it makes it seem like it was just a repressed family secret he'd held in shamefully forever
-
that he's not alive to reap the rewards of this piece makes it feel less exploitative to me somehow, it's the confession of a dying man
-
Yeah, I don't know what the circumstances of his death were, but Jesus.
-
I thought "jesus christ" to myself so many times and then you get to the byline and it's in the past tense
-
I feel cheated that he's dead? He's got a lot of fucking questions to answer.
-
the obit said he died in his sleep presumably natural but my first thought when I realized he was dead was that the piece was a suicide note
