Seven Pleasures
Farrar, Straus and Giroux (2009)
A collection of personal essays on secular, everyday happiness found without religion or medication. Each chapter takes up one activity: reading, walking, looking, dancing, listening, swimming and writing, all but one of them done alone. Spiegelman blends memoir, observation and literary reference, drawing on poets and writers he has spent a lifetime with.

מילה אישית מהקן:
Willard Spiegelman taught English at Southern Methodist University and edited the Southwest Review for many years. These seven essays mix memoir with reflection, one pleasure per chapter. A good book to read slowly, a chapter at a time.
