Loved reading this, as a recent 40 year old, I find myself reflecting and feeling as you described. I have always loved your essays and I am so happy you started writing again here.

THANK YOU for saying that you identified with each of the terrible characters in Long Island Compromise because, same. It was a great book. Loved these slices of life!

Truly great. I never got around to reading FLEISHMAN IS IN TROUBLE but after that, immediately checked it out from the library. Reviews seem to say if one loved FLEISHMAN they were meh on LIC and vice versa. Did you read Taffy's debut?

As a Campari enthusiast, I agree that I wish you' told us about this cocktail two months ago butttt we still have some 80 degree days ahead so I know what I'll be making!

I know, I know! Okay, here's my hack for taking it into fall: Also works great in front of a cozy fire, with extra crispy, super thick potato chips in a bowl you love, and cocktail jazz playing in the background. Presto, pre-dinner aperitivo slash at-home Bemelmans.
