Just finished reading TYPHOID MARY by Anthony Boudrain. It's a fascinating story about the (in)famous Irish immigrant and her life as a chef. Sad, funny, deeply engaging.

Gorgeous, Hannah! It's the kind of writing that should make every human feel less alone, more hopeful. Most of us have people with schizophrenia in our lives and can benefit from this woman--the novel's character and the essayist writing about her. Congratulations!
