All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me is a memoir by Patrick Bingley, who, when his older brother was diagnosed with fatal cancer, found himself needing to escape the mundane clamor of daily life. He quit The New Yorker and sought solace as a guard in the most beautiful place he knew. This temporary refuge became Bringley’s home away from home for a decade. Bingley provides a grand tour of the Museum entwined with an extraordinary depiction of grieving the loss of his brother. (Amazon)
