Oh holy holy wow. This book is good. Opened it up on a plane ride and sucked down 50 pages. Can’t wait to see where it goes. @AlexisSchaitkin takes us into the mountains, the moss, where clouds come thru the windows and a strange affliction steals mothers. Shirley Jackson vibes.

I am spending Presidents’ Day morning finishing a book I was asked to blurb and am so enraptured I forgot I was blurbing it. About seven pages to go and don’t want it to end. It’s like Schopenhauer meets Gone Girl. I can’t explain it. But I’ll try. Blurb TK. @SarahViren u r magic https://t.co/f3mIhMrVoE
