    About this ebook

    Closer to Fine is the story of Rachel Levine, a young, Jewish,
    bisexual woman finding her adult footing in a world full of
    uncertainties. Rachel has many teachers along the way—a stubborn
    grandfather, a progressive rabbi, a worldly girlfriend, a wise
    supervisor, and an insightful therapist—but in the end, it is her own
    anxiety that is the best teacher of all. As Rachel learns that accepting
    that which she cannot control is the mark of true growth, she becomes
    ever more connected to the people who matter most in her life.

      On Anthony Bourdain in a Tearing World

      Jun 27, 2018

      1. I made the mistake of trying to write about Anthony Bourdain with old episodes of Parts Unknown playing in the background. His sudden jarring death demanded words and witness both, so the balance seemed simple enough, an earnest attempt at paying

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when
