I was searching for voices,” writes Louis Menand (Heartland and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The Metaphysical Club”). “Some are cool and some are anti-cool.” This anthology of 22 essays leans toward the medical, and may be familiar to regular New Yorker readers, but they come together in a way that enriches any reader.
