But you notice it when he isn't there any more. You notice so many of the place where he isn't, and you hear so many of the things he doesn't say.
I do.
I hear them all the time. (查看原文)
I could keep on going, but you know what I'm like. The ink running dry from my typewriter button. This place shutting down. That's enough small print to get anyone thinking.
So I'll stack these pages with the rest of them, and leave it all behind. Writing about the past is a way of reliving it, a way of seeing it unfold all over again. We place memories on pieces of paper to know they will always exist. But this story has never been a keepsake - it's a way to let go. I don't know the ending, but I know what happens next. I walk along the corridor towards the sound of a Goodbye Party. But I won't get that far. I'll take a left, then a right, and I willpush open the front door with both hands.
I have nothing else to do today.
It's a beginning. (查看原文)

有点闷,没看完,就不給负面评价了。

字体排版有后现代的元素,难得的不令人尴尬反感。什么都挺好,就是有点拖沓。不知道是不是刻意的。

整本书弥漫着一种淡淡的、哀伤的语调,却又平静,治愈。叙述的语气十分抓人。结尾有点治愈,有点细思极恐。

我觉得我们需要更多这类关于mental illness的书籍了, 多读一点,学会同理心,更善待别人,也就是善待自己。
