“Passion, intimacy, and family love propel this masterful, suitably impressionistic portrait…Thorough familiarity with the brothers’ copious correspondence, sensitivity and originality in reading it, and alertness to the imaginative afterlife of seemingly simple exchanges make this revelatory, compulsive reading. Highly recommended.”
