More Summer Staples
This August, which is surprisingly right around the corner, I am focusing my reading on short stories, essays, and criticism. The only novel I intend to read next month will be Richard Russo’s Under the Falls. A longtime fan, I am thrilled he has another book out August 11. I heard Emily Eakin in conversation with Adam Gopnik (years ago Emily was Adam’s fact-checker at The New Yorker), and her book The Frenchmen — Derrida, Barthes, Deleuze, Foucault, etc. — is truly brilliant.
Leset has really been my go-to brand, and the pants and satin skirt are perfect day-to-evening pieces. I bought these The Row pumps in black and white to wear in the fall; however, the white pair has been perfect in the city this summer. I’m obsessed with the wedge heel — it’s a nice change from the kitten heel pumps I’ve been wearing for years, and I’m ready to pass on a few pairs to a dear friend who shares my shoe size.

Wow, Under The Falls sounds so good! I too love Le Set. Sadly, I’ve given away all of that shape wedge shoe.
What style Leset pants are they please?
The Booker Prize long list was announced today. Have been counting down the days. I plan to get through as many as I can. John of John – the only one I have read from the list is excellent.
