In these personal pieces, he takes on topics as varied as grieving for a dead son, learning Latin late in life, and the pleasures of living with cats. Epstein gives us a \"bonfire of his own vanities,\" his thoughts about why watching sports is so impossibly seductive, what it is like to be short, and why he misses smoking even decades as a health-obsessed non-smoker. Above all, he writes about the literary life and the endless joys that reading and writing have brought to a self-confessed \"lucky man.\"","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45028903846039,"sku":"9781668009727","price":585.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781668009727.webp?v=1768542377","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/familiarity-breeds-content-new-and-selected-essays-9781668009727-b","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
