A masterpiece. How she died was unbearably cruel and unbelievably strange...what was it...the day after this book came out? On the street by a stranger's brutal hand? Intolerable to think of it...it's too punishing...and the work is so humane, so transcendently beautiful, trying (in an almost Promethean gesture) to heal the pain history inflicts on the individual.
