My dear friend Caryle Murphy. Such an amazing inspiring woman, and such a fun friend. For the few years she lived in Riyadh, she was about ten minutes from my house, and we’d find any excuse to work together or just get together. So many adventures. The most mild being a search for a coffee shop open during the day in Ramadan, back when that was unheard of. So many uninhibited conversations. There was always so much to talk about. She knew so much, had experienced so much, and was so down to earth. Such an open heart, and such fun to be around. We kept in touch through all these years, meeting up in New York, sharing book, movie and show recommendations, and talking about life. Our last Zoom call was on 28 August. Even with her health issues, she’d taken part in the No Kings protests. That was Caryle. She loved her family’s house in Cape Cod and time with her family. I’m so glad she had that at the end. The world was such a better place with her in it. I can’t do her justice. Read her obituary to see just how brilliant she was and what an extraordinary life she lived. washingtonpost.com/obituarie…
