okay. no. lyman it not unkind. but. life is chemical. and a chemical reaction happens when two people get together and in this case a certain kind of ambition and striving overtook actual human beings… your parents are holding onto the last bits of power and influence they had, and they can’t imagine a world in which you have the right to speak of it. critically. they tried so hard to turn henry into one of them; cut his hair,s went him to boarding school for delinquents, forbid him to express any antiwar sentiment in their home, forbid his friends o enter the house– they tried to clean him up, but he fought as hard as he could. i tried to protect him – to give him something but i was no match… these people driven by fear have taken ownership of an entire country. and fear – fear led to punishment and in the case of your brother, even at the cost of a life itself – host to hold onto the way things were… you managed to explain in one little book, in one book and you did it just by telling the story of this family. isn’t that something
