An excellent read about someone who’s lived so many lives. Shocking, funny, beautiful, and sad, often at the same time. It’s a good read, and worth it, but it’s hard. It took me a long while to get through because of that. The essays categorize sections of Hough’s life nicely, if a bit messily, which can make it hard to follow at points. But I liked the deep tangents-within-tangents, and the way things were connected.
