My dear readers, I am still in New York dealing with a family emergency, which is likely to occupy my attentions all week. I ask your leave for some temporary downtime until then. If you haven't checked out the new issue of Bookforum, it's entirely online (as always) and should just about keep you occupied until my return. (Also worth your attention is Garth Risk Hallberg's latest essay.)
Thank you for your patience. Updates as circumstances permit.
Best wishes taking care of the family situation.

Hope all goes well--and be sure to take good care of yourself, too, during trying times. Leslie
