#dorothy baker#quotable#young man with a horn#if you click the link you can read the nyrb classics edition for FREE on the internet archive. it has an excellent afterword#anyway this book is not as great as cassandra at the wedding (obvs) but it's still so impressive#tho i think the most impressive aspect is how she handles rick & smoke bc it's a relationship operating on 0 ego % 100% vulnerability#like 'this was the first time he'd ever handled any tenderness directly' what the FUCK#and then smoke calls rick 'baby' twice one of which is on his deathbed? men are insane! i'm obsessed!#this book is textually queer (see rick's canonically gay-ass wife) but not in the way i'm making it out to be#but you do get a hand in unlovable hand fagdyke failmarriage so it's a win-win!!
