The Hanged Man

Somehow I missed this one in my teens when I read everything else I could get my hands on by Block. Laurel is wasting away. She doesn't eat. This is a Laurel Canyon fever dream. There are mentions of AIDS but there has clearly been some sort of sexual abuse. I didn't love this. Probably because I also grew up in a world where kids were pushed into adult life at way too young of an age as well and because it's so dreamy there is no real healing going on here.
