reflective
medium-paced
ironic that I had a review half-typed out and then it got deleted and now I'm starting over. chaos always wins.
took a couple of chapters for me to get into the book, but I'm glad I stuck with it. does a good job of articulating the oxymoron that is the human experience of attempting to find meaning and order in this world. lots of interactions between linguistics and biology and art in this book. I cried reading about Anna and Mary; partially because I was sad and angry they had to go through what they did but mostly because of how touched I was by their love.
standout quotes:
pg 180
