"A dazzling memoir that artfully renders the importance of connection across time and space."
Kirkus, starred review
"This vibrant book is riveting-not just brilliant, but its work is deep and beautiful, and has lived in my mind from the first moment I dipped into it: so well written, so imaginative, so very present, and so unnerving. A must-read."
Iain McGilchrist, author of The Master and His Emissary and The Matter with Things
"Shoreline is such a touching and stimulating book, filled with haunting details and a lucid and penetrating vision. Superb and stunning."
David Mikics, author of Stanley Kubrick: American Filmmaker (Yale Jewish Lives)
