I'm just in the middle of reading Blue Nights. I disagree that this book is just about her daughter's illness and death. As anyone who's read her previous memoir The Year of Magical Thinking, her writing is about the forensic examination of the detritus of her emotions during Q's long illness and death.
I didn't read it. Surely there are situations that most people can empathize with and understand that going through the pain is brutal enough without being lacerated further by the humiliation of public exposure?
MY family does not come from a Western culture.
If this were true, women would not be wearing the horrendous high heels that destroys their feet and create problems for their backs.
Can you imagine her tweets?!

"The difference between theism and nontheism is not whether one does or does not believe in God.....Theism is a deep-seated conviction that there's some hand to hold. Non-theism is relaxing with the ambiguity and uncertainty of the present moment without reaching for anything to protect ourselves. Nontheism is finally realizing there is no babysitter you can count on."
