Brings to mind a definition I have heard attributed to Daniel Patrick Moynihan: "Public Administration" is "the art of removing a dead horse from the street."
I have published four novels and four books of literary criticism; I'm currently at work on a book called FOR THE LOVE OF BROKEN THINGS: MY FATHER, EDWARD GIBBON AND THE RUINS OF ROME. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
