In the New Yorker...
Jeff Wrangler:
Well, Jon Lee Anderson's article is quite different from what he usually writes! Instead of some too-long piece about politics in the Middle East, it's about contact with some Indigenous People in the Peruvian Amazon, and I'm finding it quite interesting. So far it's like an adventure story.
Jeff Wrangler:
I finished the Jon Lee Anderson--sort of fizzles out--and read Tessa Hadley's short story. I confess I read her because I think that's such a wonderful name, Tessa Hadley. Sounds so "Downton Abbey"-esque. :)
Jeff Wrangler:
Hmm. I've finished the Aug. 8 & 15 issue, but I haven't yet received the Aug. 22 issue, so I guess I will have to start another Tony Hillerman paperback at lunch tomorrow.
Front-Ranger:
How did you like the Tessa Hadley story, Jeff? I'm beginning the one by Lauren Collins on marriage to a Frenchman.

It was all right. Not particularly memorable--no "Brokeback Mountain," that's for sure--I bet it's an excerpt from a forthcoming novel--but not a waste of time to read, either.
Lauren Collins' adventures in a foreign language are not as amusing as David Sedaris.'
