I emailed Elif Batuman after I finished The Idiot because I noticed she wore a You are My Moon and Stars necklace in press photos and she emailed back and included this photo of how she styles her necklace these days, with the chain knotted by one moon to fix a distance between the two. Is there a greater work joy than seeing a writer you love wearing jewelry you love to be a part of? Sitting on our pink velvet couches in the abundant winter sun with coffee at my feet and only 61 unread emails, I cannot think of one. (oh this is Leigh btw)
