Read this for Defector Reads a Book and was not disappointed. Yes, it’s a mix of biography, memoir, and treatise on grief. Beautifully written.

4.75
This book is like a gut punch—grief is a funny little thing. It works in ways that are hard to predict or identify. And this book puts that in the most beautiful phrasing possible. The hawking stuff kinda grossed me out but the way that Macdonald interwove t.h. white’s experiences was really compelling.
