Tony Judt
Gerry's new blog
This time he addresses the big questions as he remembers a life-defining friend. I'm sending the blog via email.Tony Judt
Tony Judt was a writer and teacher who also asked and examined the big questions. He was a great contributor to the New York Review of Books. I have his book Postwar in my kindle and I read it a few chapters at a time. Judt's life was cut short by Lou Gehrig's Disease in 2010. A giant loss. I'm emailing his writing on Albert Camus's The Plague.
Sorry, Andrew Cuomo
I didn't mean to do it this way but I quit New York at exactly the wrong time. I'm talking about relinquishing my 50+ year subscription to The New Yorker magazine. The price got too high and settling for online made me sad. Lail stepped up and mailed me her recent copies. What a great friend!

it was the best of times; it was the worst of times. hello dolly. goodbye columbus.
One of my favorite books. I read it once when I was 18, then again, in my 30's and again more recently in my 70's. It has said different things to me at each age, but always relevant and important.
