Historian of emotions, still much attached to all things medieval--art, literature, feelings, charters... Recent books on anger, love, and old age. Now writing a novel about my family, from the Pale of Settlement to now.

I'm reading De Waal's "Hare" trying to like it because it was recommended to me by friends I admire. But I find it strangely unmoving. Interesting, yes. And it's wonderful to know the identities of the people in Renoir's "Boating Party." But, I'd love to know other thoughts about this book.
