I thought about posting that sentence too. Describes so well what many
of us love about his writing. Whenever I've been trying to mentally
compose something to say about what made his writing so special,
"intimate" has been the key word.

Also this:

"...feeling alone and inferior was actually the great valent bond
between us all."
