“The son of a Rothschild heiress and a world-class cellist, Joram Piatigorsky grew up in a rarified atmosphere of privilege, talent, and love. Not content with being known by his parents’ accomplishments, he established his own reputation as a respected NIH scientist and a foremost collector of Inuit art. This fascinating account of his journey becomes a meditation on art, wonder, and creativity, of bucking the status quo and following one’s heart. It’s a lesson we all need on taking risks and discovering the unexpected.”
