I‘m so glad this book was chosen for my book club bc it was not on my radar & I loved it! It‘s part memoir/part nonfiction, & I listened to the audiobook, which was great. I connected w/ him an a lot of things & kept pausing to go look up certain pieces of art mentioned, or pull up Spotify & listen to a song he talked about. He wrote this during the pandemic, so that brought a whole other level of intensity to some of the chapters.
