Review of Ironweed (1987) by Kato H — 12 Nov 2007
This is a sad portrait of regret, self-delusion, and the places that dreams go to die. The scene where Tom Waits offhandedly announces that he's got 'the cancer' is so weirdly heartbreaking.
For people in circumstances like this, death is a pretty decent proposition. I love how Nicholas interacts with the ghosts of his past.
