A Line Out for a Walk: Familiar Essays

Joseph Epstein

Paul Klee's words on his art, I take a line out for a walk, describe precisely what the author of these essays does--he takes out such lines as gossip, gambling, height (or the lack of it), hats, smoking, fame or compulsive reading and walks them in his own discursive style.
