Interesting, but not my thing. Only got as far as I did because it was about a writer and there was a lot of trade talk and random writer life tidbits.
Deeply satisfying novel with heavy mystery elements concerning memory an the act of writing, father/daughter relationships, childhood friendships and race relations in Baltimore.
While not quite as good as some of her other standalones, I did enjoy this look at the writing life and how memories and memoirs don't always quite match up.
