It's always been one of my nightmares. The article is a delight; the one thing that I can't quite empathize with is the "concern not worry" line, if I woke up with one blind eye I would probably see it as the fulfilling of some horrible fate...
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.
