“You came from Hell.” “No, I came from Brooklyn.” “What’s the difference?”

Tamar is a good story, but interesting. Perhaps worth a reread

Confused about La Volpaia

I don’t like that Helprin doesn’t introduce his characters at all and just throws their name into a random page like we are expected to know who it is, it’s difficult to follow along with.

Palais de Justice is brilliantly described

I feel that White Gardens would be better as a movie scene at the end of a movie compared to a disjointed short story

Finished A Vermont Tale - revisit, BRO

North Light was good but too short

I probably want to revisit Martin Bayer I read it really fast. Oh, to grow up in New York City and be youthful again

Schreuderspitze was really good, Letters from the Samantha not as much.
