I love the characters in his life. He does such a good job
of portraying each of them, from Pighead, his former lover and best friend who is dying, to Jim, his undertaker drinking buddy, to coworker Greer—I want to be her friend 😅.
So where could I relate to the experiences of the author? Everywhere. That’s what’s interesting about our disease. It doesn’t discriminate. We are all very different people, with very different life experiences, all suffering from the same disease.
Listen to this review episode whether you read or didn't—I don't have any spoilers! Get it on audible.
