Widow Basquiat: A Love Story by Jennifer Clement
5.0
Read!!! this!!! book!!!
Honestly just wow. I read this in one night. I sat and read for about an hour straight until I got half way through (reading each chapter twice sometimes because just once was not enough). It's not easy to read. I had to take a break halfway through because there was a lump in my throat and a knot in my heart. This book has this way of being haunting and beautiful and encapsulating and it just swallows you whole but not before turning you inside out.
The style in which it was written really captures the tumultuous whirlwind of a relationship that Basquiat and Mallouk had.
Read this from a pdf (thanks, Alaa) but as soon as I was done I ordered it off Amazon because I need to own a physical copy.
