Please follow the link and read it – I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Even if you don’t want to spend the time reading it, follow the link anyway, and you’ll be rewarded with the most stunning photograph of the 86 year-old author: simultaneously wise and mischievous – the sort of human being it would surely be a privilege to know and to count on as a friend.

(hat tip, once again, to Nicholas Whyte for drawing this essay to my attention)
