Narcissus leaves the pool

Joseph Epstein's sixth collection of personal pieces rounds off more than two decades of his writing under the name Aristides for The American Scholar. Among the things that arise here are naps, Gershwin, name-dropping, long books, growing older, talent versus genius, Anglophilia, and surgery. These are essays about the head and the heart.
