I’m less than 100 pages in and already the book is covered with stickies, highlights, notes and exclamation points. Last night I had to stop reading because my eyes were so tired but I felt like I had feasted on prime rib. Your book reminds of me of Madeleine Stern’s bio on Louisa May Alcott, written from the point of view of a writer and directed at writers. It is therapy, it is education, it is much needed food for this writer who didn’t even realize she was hungry! Thank you.
