I love me an essay collection, and this was a great one. I felt like I was sinking into another world, and I very much want to have a meal with Kushner just to hear her thoughts on art and Italy and life itself. Where her writing *didn't* click for me was in her endings (all of which seemed to be a paragraph short?) and the minutiae of artists' lives that bogged down a handful of essays, distracting from what makes her own observations sing. But all said, definitely worth a read.
My favorites, to keep a record: Girl on a Motorcycle; In the Company of Truckers; Is Prison Necessary?, and Bunny.
