The end is inescapable: All of us eventually die. But what we do before that moment -- whom we love, how we live -- is the subject of this brutal, luminous, unforgettable book.
You think of yourself as a moderately well-read person.

You feel a bit like John Keats when he came across a translation of Homer that knocked him out: 'Then felt I like some watcher of the skies / When a new planet swims into his ken.' "
