Epstein's sixth collection of personal pieces winningly and brilliantly rounds off his 23-year tenure as editor of The American Scholar. Among the topics covered are naps, Gershwin aging, name-dropping, long books, pet peeves, talent vs. genius, Anglophilia, and surgery--the head and the heart. Excerpted in The New Yorker.
