Favorite book ever, the great American novel. I hear they’re making a new one on Netflix, I really hope they don’t screw it up. For Gus 🥲

“This adventure is nothing short of extraordinary. Every word is perfect. I'll be recommending this for a long long time. Thanks to all the RL recommenders who put this on my radar @James Kylstra, @Louise Buckley, @Amanda, and so many others.”
