These powerful essays share critical moments of a writer's life: scenes from sixty years of passionate married love, suicides faced and suicide contemplated, trauma at the DMV, a night lost searching for a harpsichord in the mountains of Florence, Italy, the tale of a beloved cousin whose plane is shot down by Japanese Zeros, and a precious friendship between two women writers derailed by the poisons of religion and politics. In the titular essay (included in Best American Essays 2023) a food bank, assuaging the pandemic's terrors with gifts of food and prayers, becomes a portal for intimate confidences entrusted to us by a voice of unspoiled authenticity and perennial vigor.
