I listened to the audiobook after watching the 2024 film. I think the audio version definetly added to the experience, especially with Lees bizzare routines and monologues, as one of my favorite parts of the movie was Daniel Craig’s read of certain lines and his inflection. The book is a different kind of sad, but the same strange, compelling, deeply vulnerable, deeply human story. What else is there to say? Raw and ugly, fleetingly tender. Above all…Queer, in content and form.
