Becoming Duchess Goldblatt by Duchess Goldblatt

What a weird and surprisingly vulnerable memoir of the anonymous author’s use of her character to help her navigate a difficult time. As an active Twitter user, I would see her tweets, but I never really got caught up or followed Duchess. It seemed odd in the way that her account was portrayed as high art. But the way that it’s a journey of self discovery was lovely. Not at all what I expected, and the audiobook includes Lyle Lovett reading his own dialogue. Yes, Lyle Lovett figures into this story.
