a delightfully frothy biography which is unexpectedly laced with compassionate reality. i am almost sure the lady in question is a schizotypal p.d. who eventually lapses into frank psychosis, all the while maintaining a mystifying fifteen year friendship with the author. his humor is so sly that i almost miss the horror of her audacious toilet, and the pathos of her final decline.
this book could also be called the odd hermit and her sidekick. i love it.
