The illustration to another NYRB piece, taken from here (it is Maria Sybilla Merian's illustration of a common or spectacled caiman with a South American false coral snake!):
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.
