Thanks for inviting these two wonderful high achievers to join this conversation. I am so sorry to know Yiyun lost her second son this year too. I can’t imagine what she could handle these, let’s pray for her.

What a wonderful conversation! Loved the book and the conversation.

Those two brothers lacked much life experience to draw from and thus did not have the strength nor patience to endure long enough to break through the challenges of the illness via therapy and meditation however slowly. So sad…
