What a beautiful captivating story. Listened to this in audiobook form and I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate the narrator NOT use a horrendous Russian accent when reading the book.
“And there was the excellent possibility of death. I never understood people who said their greatest fear was public speaking, or spiders, or any of the other minor terrors. How could you fear anything more than death?
Everything else offered moments of escape. A paralyzed man could still read Dickens. A man in the grips of dementia might have flashes of the most absurd beauty.”

Weird choice to have a framing device that makes it seem like it’s a nonfiction recollection about the authors parents!
Particularly when his father is actually an American born neocon and former chair of Goldman Sachs!
