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.
My boss at Norton was the editor on that book, incidentally. I've read it and it's v, good.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think I must see if I can get a copy, it sounds very much my kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteI can prob. get you one, if you want. I met with one of my bosses and he told me to send a list of books that I want to him.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love one, if you think you can. You could stick it in my Columbia mailbox & I will pick it up next time I'm there!
