I read it after I finish any tormenting writing project. It reminds me that creation isn’t just the result, it’s the effort, and that everything is perfect in its effort.

So proud of my favorite @galbeckerman on the birthday of his excellent book, THE QUIET BEFORE: ON THE UNEXPECTED ORIGINS OF RADICAL IDEAS. Gal is a terrific historian, a literal doctor, a great writer and an immaculate thinker. I'm devouring this. https://t.co/jtPwgSDHsU

I will never get over Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter, which is a perfect book with a perfect audiobook, narrated by Edoardo Ballerini.
