All the Beauty in the World |
When his beloved older brother dies of cancer, the author leaves his rat-race job at The New Yorker magazine and takes a job as a museum guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Raw with grief, he opens himself to the balm and beauty of the museum’s great art and artifacts. As he walks through rooms filled with the world’s oldest art treasures, he takes solace. He will remain for ten years before leaving and writing this exquisite, haunting memoir.
