@Bella Figura It's a really rich and heavy read, it's kind of like an acid trip itself. I often have to look words up while I'm reading it because his use of the english language is so expansive. Also, I tend to go down wikipedia rabbit holes getting background info on some of the things he references in the book. It's remarkable that he wrote this book from jail with no internet access. Its overflowing with historical detail, rich descriptions and fantastical storytelling, apparently all from his head. Not even sure he had access to a word processor. It's an interesting mix of autobiography and fiction. Kind of autobiographic magic-realism. Definitely the kind of book to take your time with, not something to plow through.
I have this problem where I keep getting books from the library, and then they take priority because they have a due date, where as I own "the rose.." so it keeps getting bumped.
Really cool that he's out of jail now. I wonder what he's up to.
