Enjoying this but was not expecting the magical realism… not usually into it but I will finish the book and see

“it’s art that helps me cope because art is fragile magic just like love and that’s humanity’s only defense against death that we create and paint and dance and fall in love that’s our rebellion against humanity. Everything beautiful as a shield Vincent van Gogh wrote I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.”

“art is so big, so unfathomable, that it teaches us to mourn for strangers.”

This book is so funny and observant and sweet, loving it!

Omg why does the universe not let them just find each otherrrr

Wowwww if you interact with children in any way especially if you’re a parent you have to read thisssss

“ Today when I meet children on the beach when I see them running in the dunes or lying on the hot stone wall, that was once a levee I remember that I was like them once with their incredible lightness and insouciance soaking in the sun you can never really let go of your childhood, especially when it was happy.”

“In the end, love is only possible because he saw me not as who I was, but as the person I would become.”

WHAT. This was SO GOOD. What witty commentary on class, race gender. Loved it all the way through EVEN PART 3.

loving this, I wish I bought the book so I could highlight. Prose is so good

“It’s… easier to write all addicts off as bad and weak-willed people, than it is to look closely at the nature of their suffering.”
“ the waste was my own. The waste was what I missed out on whenever I looked at him and saw just his addiction.”

“Live long enough and you’ll never forget almost everything you thought you’d always remember”
