Last fall I went to Japan for the first time & brought Pico Iyer’s "The Lady and the Monk" as companion. I fell in love with his Japanese love story, which continues in “Autumn Light,” & wrote about it for @newyorker https://t.co/yG6uGQi02U

The Collected Schizophrenias: Essays

Esmé Weijun Wang
Anna AltmanAnna Altman

I wrote about @esmewang's intelligent, unusual book The Collected Schizophrenias for @NewYorker—a deeply researched meditation on what it means to face a lifetime of illness. This book meant a lot to me. https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/in-the-collected-schizophrenias-esme-weijun-wang-maps-the-terrain-of-her-mental-illness @GraywolfPress
