His sentence structure is unique, often feeling like the sentences stop abruptly, leaving more to be desired. Which is a trait we would often find in poetry rather than prose. His stories delve into the complexities of human emotions. The simple language and descriptions give just enough for readers to feel the gravity of emotions without it explicitly being said. \u201cMy idea of blindness came from the movies. In the movies, the blind moved slowly and never laughed. Sometimes they were led by seeing-eye dogs.
