N2  - The Queen Lives Alone! Personal   The Queen Lives Alone! Personal Esssays gathers together sixteen nonfiction texts on cosmopolitan existence, people's Idiosyncrasies, poetic  musings, and family stories, Through wit and humor, Baytan connects these four threads to tell the different facets of love-loving the self, loving other, and loving the sublime. There are no grand events or life changing miracles in this book-only the simplest details of the everyday, the smallest of gestures, and the littlest acts of kindness. For this book is a celebration of smallness-which constitutes the throb and throe of our solitary existence. In the end, The Queen Lives Alone is about the agonizing grace of being alone, of being alive.
