Eric and 379 other people liked Maria's review of What We Can Know: "Please, when I die, just place a copy of this book on my grave. That’s all I ask—thank you. The story is a brilliant meditation on how we treat history—how we glorify certain eras and idolize their people, obsessing over times we never lived through, " Read more of this review »
