It's very much a personal responsibility kind of book.
Whereas in Communion, he is far more understanding.
His grandmother, his mamaw, looms very large in both books.
And the first book...
He quotes her as saying, you know, never be like those effing losers who think the deck is stacked against them.
In the second book, she's kind of a softer presence, right?
He says, she's the woman whose life has taught me the most about Christian love and virtue, right?
She's still intense, but a little bit less so.
Communion is less about the dysfunction of his early life and more about the faith that he drew out of that life.
I'm not saying it's necessarily a contradiction.
It's a matter of emphasis, I think.
You know, EJ, you mentioned the word unravel, right?
That he's a man afraid of, you know, things coming apart, of things unraveling.
And that's actually a point of consistency with Hillbilly Elegy, right?
When you said it, I started looking through my copy because it rang a bell.
And he says that when he was about nine years old,
things began to unravel at home.
You know, that's, and that's, you know, those kind of things mark you, you know, as a child, you know, from the very beginning.
This is a sort of a constant fear of his.
I see what you mean, Michelle, you know, when you think that this is, you know, a book that's sort of scattered, that it's a guy who doesn't really know who he is, what he wants.
