"Is there no change of death in paradise?" — Wallace Stevens
From a New Yorker book review dated May 13 —
"In 'Field Flowers,' Glück’s flower scoffs that 'absence of change'
is humanity’s 'poor idea of heaven.' But the religious believer
might object that Hägglund’s idea of eternity is equally poor."
Here James Wood is reviewing Martin Hägglund’s
This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom
(Pantheon, March 5, 2019).
