Joanna, a Black American lawyer pressured to play the good old boys’ game to succeed with her Big Pharma client.
Victor Miesel, a critically acclaimed yet largely obscure writer suddenly on the precipice of global fame.
About to start their descent to JFK, they hit a shockingly violent patch of turbulence, emerging on the other side to a reality both perfectly familiar and utterly strange.

il y a une chose admirable qui surpasse toujours la connaissance, l'intelligence, et même le génie, c'est imcompréhension. (有一件令人欣喜的事情,它总是超越人类的认知,智慧,甚至天赋,那就是不解。) ( 三个月,多么短暂,又多么漫长。) 我是昨日读完的这本...

就和这本书的封面一般,你撕开书的表面,一边可能是晴空万里,一边可能是阴云密布。生活再矛盾那又如何,反正我们一直在生活在爱在创造在给世界留下属于我们的痕迹。
