6/2/2023 0 Comments Far from the tree solomonThe 976 pages began for Solomon 10 years ago as a kind of quest, and like all writer's quests it was, to start with, an effort on his part to understand himself as much as the world. Once there, as one, or a dozen, working answers to the most urgent of inquiries they prove hard to argue with. In my experience of the past few days you don't so much read Far from the Tree as cohabit with it its stories take up residence in your head and heart, messily unpack themselves and refuse to leave. In future Google might do well to point the askers of this oldest question in the direction of Andrew Solomon's extraordinary book. A couple of weeks ago I wrote a story about Google in which I discovered in passing that the question "what is love?" was almost always among the top 10 queries, minute by minute, to the search engine.
