    “I savored this book as long as possible- the meandering details of all the interwoven lives are so enjoyable. I loved the reflections on love and longing, of self understanding, the commentary on culture, the ego, and the art world- layered and so enjoyable. This book may be my top recommendation for 2026 so far.”
