Museums and confectionery: Next time you are at the Met, make sure to look at the special ESDA exhibition space just before the Lehman Wing. Austrian Du Paquier porcelains are set up with real sugar paste ornaments to evoke an 18th Century formal table. (It's up till March 21.)
I have published four novels and four books of literary criticism; I'm currently at work on a book called FOR THE LOVE OF BROKEN THINGS: MY FATHER, EDWARD GIBBON AND THE RUINS OF ROME. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
