I am continually disappointed at Mr. Thorn’s ongoing appropriation of all of my favorite things. To wit - Public Radio, Hodgman, Bubba Sparxxx, Bob Newhart, Andre 3000, and now Lewis Lapham. I am hereby reserving Edward Hopper and William Carlos Williams for myself. Kindly avoid these topics in the future. Thank you.
Put This On Season 2, Episode 2: PTO Man: Lewis Lapham
Profile of editor Lewis Lapham from Put This On. Lapham is the publisher of Lapham’s Quarterly, and was the longtime editor of Harper’s. He says that when you’re dressed well, you can engage any subject.
Flaubert, even at his poorest, carried two gold coins in his pocket, to give him “a sense of weight.” For Lapham, a suit gives him this same sense.
