Mysterious, intellectually challenging, and sweet


by Rivka Galchen


When is talking about literature not an evasion of the real question at hand?

An amazing smart, funny, cerebral, touching book. I had to go buy my own copy because I was dog-earing so many pages with great lines.

I mean come on! Any book incorporating:

dogs
Doppler effect
Patagonia (Argentina)
cultish meteorologists
and a heartbreaking love story

Yeah. I loved it.
