Possession

Stephen Elliott has an amazing essay in this month's issue of the Believer (full text available online). It won't be for everybody, you've got to have a strong stomach for this kind of writing about love, but I found it extremely compelling. (Link via Ed and Ed--since I am very happy to count both of them as friends I think I will refrain from designating either one of them "Other Ed.")

Also in this month's issue: Sarah Fay interviews Pankaj Mishra.
