So sorry to hear that the internet has you down, bc I only internet know you!! So excited to read your piece on Weil, was just teaching her in DC (sorry I missed you, but it sound like you've been occupied). Also, fuck NYC. The idea that its the only place to live is parochial.

Awesome! Phil Klay shared your piece on Weil today and I like it a lot. On it, did you read Simone Petrement’s biography of Weil for your piece? Also, reading George Steiner now and he has an essay on Weil, too. He opens it be alluding to her as “Socrates gone mad.” Which I think gets at the tension you talk about in your piece. Again, happy summer!
