Narcissus Leaves the Pool by Joseph Epstein
Joseph Epstein demonstrates time and again his talent for taking nearly any subject and polishing it into a gem of sparkling wit and fascination. In Narcissus Leaves the Pool, he displays his signature verve and charm in sixteen agile, entertaining pieces. Among his targets in this collection are name-dropping, talent versus genius, the cult of youthfulness, and the information revolution.
Between 1974 until 1997, he was the editor of The American Scholar, and he taught English at Northwestern University for many years. His work has appeared in publications such as the New Yorker, Commentary, the Atlantic Monthly, and others.
