I DEVOURED this book. I don't think i've photographed any books pages more. My only criticism is that it touched so close to home, that i saw weaknesses in my own writing come up in hers. Of course, I also saw sentences far more sweeping and graceful than anything I've ever written. the specificity, excavating profundity from banality. I live to be affected by writing like this.
