I don't know how I feel about this one. I love classics, but I knew very little about this story going into it and I think that made it much more difficult. I listened to the Ethan Hawke narration, which I was told was stellar, and it was! 

The "so it goes" repetition felt so powerful by the end, and knowing this was semi-autobiographical adds a lot of interest to the story. The back and forth in time and never knowing what was real or not really creates this cool narrative that makes you feel a little bit like you're losing your mind with Billy - where nothing is real and time doesn't exist. 

Overall it was really good, but it might have gone over my head just a little bit.
