Wallace Shawn
What will you be reading this summer?
Well, that's really not anybody's business, is it? It's very personal. It's too personal.
Is there a book you find yourself rereading in summertime?
Move on to the next question.
Is there any book you'd recommend for the summer?
It's hard to recommend a book if you don't know who you're recommending it to. I could recommend a book to someone who's quite a bit like me: The Collected Stories of Mavis Gallant. You can read one story, put the book aside and read another a year later. It could last a lifetime.
Shawn's most recent book is Essays
