Insights from Chapter 1
#1
My dad was a polymath who spoke eight languages and was president of Swarthmore College. He was fluent in the histories of India, Pakistan, and China. My mom was a missionary with a missionary temperament.
#2
I asked my dad what he thought he was best at, and he said listening. I asked Timmie what he thought he was best at, and he said listening.
#3
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found myself turning to Timmie and Day more and more. They’ve become sort of de facto parents to me.
#4
Our brother, Pier, the middle child, doesn't use our shorthand. He's a six-foot-five dog lover who is athletic and equable. He doesn't fret about having leukemia because he is determined to be a stoic, and he doesn't fret about failing to be a stoic because he doesn't always remember that that's what he's supposed to be.

I’m a writer for The New Yorker, and I love portraying outliers: Hollywood agents who don’t schmooze, venture capitalists who relish the limelight, and scientists who believe in the possibility of immortality. In order to understand the rules the rebels are breaking as well as those they’re trying to establish, I ask about everything.
#8
We have three kids. One is a brooding perfectionist, the other is a giddy hypochondriac, and the third is a dawdling dork.
#9
I asked Timmie and Day about their happiest and lowest moments, and they didn’t skip a beat.
