The Getaway
Log24 on St. Luke’s Day this year:
An example of lifestyle coverage at The New York Times— a 2006 story on visual art in Mexico that included a reference to…
For descriptions of such life, I prefer the literary art of Robert Stone– in particular, Stone’s novel A Flag for Sunrise.
Credit must be given to the Times for an excellent 1981 review of that novel.

“A Flag for Sunrise is
the best novel of ideas
I’ve read since Dostoyevsky
escaped from Omsk.”
The author of that review, John Leonard, died Wednesday, Nov. 5. This morning’s Times has his obituary.
