Incredible to wake up to a beautiful review in The Wall Street Journal by Jennifer A. Frey including work by Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman and Natalie Lampert

Beside myself with gratitude for an outstanding review—probing, soulful, uncompromising—in The Wall Street Journal from a philosopher I admire very much

For the title Rachel suggested “The Three Body Problem” but I worried it would suggest the piece is about polyamorous spousal hires and readers would feel cheated

This review essay by Jennifer A. Frey on parenting, children, and what it means to embrace one's own loss of autonomy is brilliant and quite moving, which is an unusual combination: wsj.com/arts-culture/b…

One of the best parts of talking to people from around the world about the book is discovering just how widely the analysis of ambivalence applies. Thank you Pablo Maillé for a brilliant conversation! Usbek & Rica usbeketrica.com/fr/article/etr…
