My job requires much involuntary reading during the workday, so when I’m asked what I’m reading lately, I’m a little abashed at what boring prose most of “what I’m reading lately” is.
But in trying to give an honest account of the reading I enjoy lately, it occurs to me that whatever toll the related afflictions of a disorderly imagination and a frail attention span may be taking on my moral life, they’ve had agreeable effects on my leisure time. In the last few weeks that’s been mostly devoted to old, new and wildly variegated short stories.
