did i accidentally read the play version? yes. was it still good? also yes.
a pretty poetic book about going crazy as a result of intense grief.

“We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication, wired so that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves.”
One of the most beautifully written books I’ve read in a long time, a perfect elegy to Didion’s husband and a reminder of her incredible writing and wonderful mind.
