Daily Blague

Feeling very frazzled and tender when I awoke at five this morning and couldn't get back to sleep and got through with the Times: what to read? Nothing in my current pile appealed. I needed something that I'd read before, something relatively calm and stable. The Library of America to the rescue! I had been talking about A Time To Be Born, Dawn Powell's great novel, published in 1942, with Ms NOLA, and I was thirsty for a refresher. I'm writing about Powell as I go along at Good For You.
