Don’t look at me. I’ve only just launched the new, improved version of my own fabled blog, and at a time of life when a project such as that turns fifteen days into one glutinous mass. Suddenly, voilà , the month is over, and the prize or piece of candy that one is going to be stuck with drops out of the chute.
Not that I’m complaining about the result! But I owe beacoup de courrieux. (Especially to Ellen and Gawain.)
I spent yesterday reading. First, there was a weekend’s worth of Timeses. As the British used to say, Friday to Monday. A lot of print. The rest of the day went to India – I’ll tell you more on Wednesday – until the late evening, when I jumped into Darin Strauss’s Chang & Eng. What a treat!
Kathleen didn’t know about Chang and Eng. Her innocence never ceases to confound me.
