A Man for Many Seasons
I’ve been reading it and reading it. Zillions of names and lots of
activities, mostly of them minor. The sensible thing is to skip; for a long
while I wasn’t doing that, but I now skip gobs. Nor am I really focused either.
Not a good combination. There is no doubt that he was a remarkable man, with a
successful and versatile career in politics and a successful and extensive
career as a novelist. Apparently some of his novels are still readable, though
I don’t expect to follow up on
that. I don’t yet know what I will
read next, but it will be a different kind of book for sure.
