In this unusual memoir of the life of the mind, the founding editor of The Threepenny Review reflects upon the choices she has made in pursuit of her vocation as a self-described "eighteenth-century man of letters." Wendy Lesser, one of our shrewdest cultural observers, describes how her education, her experiences, and the works of her favorite writers, artists, and performers have shaped and deepened her understanding of the world. She shows us how she has created an independent life as a writer, editor, and critic, free to follow her enthusiasms where they lead her. Whether her subject is Mark Morris's choreography, the delights of e-mail, the odd assortment of words that were born the same year she was, or the moral implications of giving to beggars (pondered by way of Charles Dickens and Henry James), Lesser's acute wisdom and elegant prose render a beguiling portrait of a remarkable mind at work.Binding Type: Paperback

Works great! Gets hot fast & water in tank lasts
Style: Steam Mop
Works great! Gets hot fast and the max amount of water it takes goes a long way in my home. I can clean several rooms and still have half of the water still in the tank. Awesome, easy to use, effective and great value for the price.

Will buy again
Style: Steam Mop
I’m pretty impressed with this steam mop. It cleans great, leaving no streaks. It’s easy to handle with its decent sized griped handle. It’s durable and easy to use. It’s sleek and lightweight with a pretty long cord. I highly recommend.

Needs a longer cord! But does the job well!
Style: Steam Mop
My only complaint is the cord is not long enough! I have to go around finding every outlet to plug it into to get my whole house clean.

You get what you pay for
Style: Steam Mop
It's just OK. It does get the job done, but poorly made and I don't expect it to last long. Unlike other steam mops I've had, this one leaves the floor wet. Plus the pad does not pick up any stuck-on gunk that the steam loosened. I had to go back and pick up a few pieces by hand. Instructions say to let the water tank air dry before storing, but the attached lid makes it hard to let air into the tank. In retrospect I should have spent a few dollars more and gotten a better unit.
