Are we well rounded yet?

Yes, you wouldn't think that The New York Review of Books would ask "Who knew Chabon was so Jewish?"
Luna Park covers a story on a Jim Shepard story.
Why are the days so long? Oh yes:
Each day, I would say "good morning" to the same people I said it to the day before. There were "in" jokes about the standard of the coffee, the football tipping competition, or somebody's outrageous tie. Lunch was snatched hurriedly from the place next door, a little cafe where the regulars from the department jokes with the proprietor and his staff, small jokes, small business, small change, but these people were immensely important to each other. It might be that none of them were aware of their importance, each to the other, and it took me awhile to realize it myself but with each "good morning" they were reminding each other, just slightly, who they were and that they were there.
