    “It’s an incredible yarn as they say. It’s everything, everywhere, kind of a cross between David Copperfield and Zelig. How can one life have so much life, you’ll wonder? But the longer I live the more I see that life really is this way if you’re lucky enough to stick around for a good length of time. It’s great to be along for the ride. And then the ending is really sort of earth-shattering, mind-expanding, transcendent.”
