I loved listening to this book, read by the author. I loved how he spoke as much as what he was saying. As someone who doesn’t know much about art, but has a mother who is a docent at a museum, this was enjoyable and eye opening and started conversations. This book isn’t sad, even though the whole experience starts because of his brother’s death. I’ll definitely have a better and more immersive experience the next museum I visit than I would have before this book. (I got to having only 30 min left in listening when this got returned on Libby and I had to wait several months to get it back to finish - and when I did, was excited to have it to start my week for my morning commute - it’s probably one I’ll listen to again in a few years, a few museum visits from now.)
