American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Martin J. Sherwin, Kai Bird
5.0
i don’t even really have words to express how much i adored this book.
on one hand, it feels like i am now oppies parasocial friend who stalks him in the lunch line and seems to know everything about him despite never holding a conversation.
however, this book feels so special and so beautiful.
i relate to oppenheimer a lot (i say after literally just bursting into tears infront of my parents because i don’t want to do my physics gcses), particularly with his guilt and his grief.
i also relate to kitty a lot, who is like my favourite person in the book ever however i adored learning about all of his relationships. that particularly, i think was my favourite thing to learn about. as a filmmaker, i would love to create something about kitty someday, as long as christopher nolan doesn’t sue me of course.
there are many more books about him that i would love to read now and thiis book has opened a world of doors for me.
i want to get a phd in history someday and when i do, lord knows i will write my thesis about oppie. so much more i could say but i am so insanely in love with this book. joined with kafkas letters to milena, this was the easiest five stars of my life.
