Myself and Other More Important Matters

Excellent ( )

An introspective and reflective Handy offers an analysis of his life and works, giving subtle pointers to where he thinks he might have been right and where he thinks perhaps he was less so. Unassuming and avuncular and therefore somewhat boring, I began to yearn for a tale about his unbridled lust for African male prostitutes while he worked for Shell in the Congo, but there are no such Important Matters as these compared to constructing and living the Portfolio Career. Like an intellectual warm bath, I’d read five pages before bed to lull me off to sleep, and I was disappointed that this was less interesting than I’d hoped. ( )
