Heartbreaking and so so good.

This story is B A N A N A S and I am eating it upppp. Patrick Radden Keefe is cooking with this one.

I am immediately obsessed with this book. It has everything I look for in a juicy narrative nonfiction: a ripped from the headlines story (which I remember seeing in the headlines & wondering about years ago), an enigmatic tragic hero whose secrets the author seeks to unravel to get at the hidden heart of him; British class dynamics and culture intertwined with…Russian oligarchs? I am eating it UP.
