Gotham Diary:
A bientôt
11 May 2012

Here’s hoping that all readers have a pleasant time of it while I’m away. For myself, I’ll be sightseeing on the outside and stocktaking on the inside. Leaving my island home seems more brutal and unnatural than ever. The forward part of my mind is genuinely looking forward to visiting two favorite cities. The bulk of it, though, is so swamped by what feels like a simple prehistoric dread of travel that I wonder what pleasure I’ll be able to take.
