This book has got it all for me: writing about writing. Leading women. Metamorphosis. A cat. A duck. The alphabet. A bean-shaped pool and a hurricane. Venice (or rather, Venetian islands). A book that’s yet to be finished.

I wish I had taken this with me to the beach earlier this month—it’s the perfect beach read if you’re into having your heart restarted after prolonged numbness.
