Human, consequential, and anxiety-inducing, lol. Considering that the book was written well before covid, I find Mandel’s understanding of human behavior in the face of uncertainty and death remarkable. I loved the connections between the characters  and the pacing of the story. The central theme/connector of the fine arts was most compelling. It is important to remember that arts matter and may be the last bit of humanity when everything else goes away.
