A Book Log
I actually skipped the 9/11 piece, because I think those are probably never good.
I think the lobster piece was arguably more effective in its original context, "Gourmet" magazine. And also in the context of his previous work. You just know the Gourmet editors were expecting another piece like the cruise or state fair essays, and threw a bit of a curveball there. Still, I liked it, and I appreciated that it didn't reach any easy conclusions.
