Do not become a landlord lest ye be doomed to pass on your generational trauma.
Danny's right up there with Holden Caulfield: he's so close to getting it, understanding, but he again and again just cannot. He consistently leaves the problem half-finished, mistaking his own awareness for the real truth of the matter. He's a brilliantly written (youngest) child of immense privilege and no amount of empathy or self-awareness in his reading will cross over to him. Deeply introspective but incapable of seeing past his own silhouette. I feel like a good amount of his character is attributed to gender norms of the times, but he's simply self-centered to a fault. Frustrating! He is our protagonist.
This was a decent read; thoroughly moving, introspective, and sad. I can get behind a story of deep lows and perseverance through hardship; I wish only that the resolution didn't so sadly reflect the reality of such situations: that sometimes, things just end without a high note.
