"In lyric essays, a story, poems, and photographs, Smith illuminates the whirl of
chance and choice that stokes a writer's imagination, recounting her fascination on
the eve of a trip to Paris with Simone Weil and an evocative, accidentally discovered
film about Stalin's mass deportation of Estonians. In France, a gravestone, a televised
figure-skating competition, a meal, and a garden all converge in what becomes Devotion,
[a] ... fairy tale about a young, displaced Estonian skater and a solitary dealer
in rare objects and arms. This ... fable about creativity and obsession, possession
and freedom is followed by a meditation on how a work of art is, for other artists,
a call to action"--Booklist, 08/01/2017
