I was looking for a book that might, in a non-literal way, speak to my son's experience. He is nonverbal and uses a wheelchair. He is not literally in a bubble but.... He and I enjoyed the book immensely. The scene between Joe and Amir made me appreciate how much of the sensual world my son takes in and responds to intensely.Reading it to him made me appreciate the author's ability to speak to our lives without intending to. That is, afterall, the definition of art.
