“There’s a part in ‘Splitting the Difference’ where you write that one of the only upsides to death is a renewed appreciation for living and for the living. In that vein, my personal marker for what makes a piece of art—book, film, painting, whatever—great is when it does something similar. Your memoir did this. It heightened my senses, and made me feel harshly alive and present and aware of the moment I was living in. This is a gift, and a great one. I thank you for it.”
