Is there anything Jonathan Raban can't write about?
I really like the epigraph he chose for this piece on the Democratic race:
I want a hero: an uncommon want
When every year and month sends forth a new one,
Till, after cloying the gazettes with cant,
The age discovers he is not the true one.
Byron, Don Juan
note to self: read more Byron instead of just scraps and pieces.
