360 Staff Pick: Memoir of a Friendship
With a million bromance movies exploring male friendships (usually at the expense of the shrewy women who stand in the way), Let’s Take the Long Way Home is refreshing. The memoir by former Boston Globe book critic Gail Caldwell sketches her quiet, funny, intimate friendship with fellow-writer Caroline Knapp until Knapp’s death in 2002.
