Why this must be read: This piece manages something rare and wonderful: it goes out of the dialect speech and enters into the poetic, but still stays true to the essence of the character and story. Jack’s point of view is beautifully represented here and the way this piece is framed is one of the few that he could speak so honestly and deeply to Ennis.

Do this. Go up to the mountain in the summer when the sun is out making all the colors the brightest and everything looks like it’s on fire, the water blue flame and the rock dark, cooled embers. Here you never have to be alone and you never have to bury what you feel. You can bleed your agony. You can scream in pain, loud and proud like an eagle. Shout our secret to the free sky, open and gaping like the mouth of a snake right before it sinks its teeth into your heel and kills you. You’ll hit the ground and feel the pain slowly die away and go numb, and then you’ll be truly free, part of that sky.
