“I loved being offered the companionship of Cappello’s feeling mind. . . . I loved her insistence on taking everything in, not rushing to be ‘healed’ before experience registers. I loved the precision and passion with which this book about facing mortality attends to the particulars of being alive—both in the body and in language.” —Jan Clausen, author of If You Like Difficulty, and From a Glass House, and Apples and Oranges: My Journey through Sexual Identity
