The Desirable World
A book about radiance and public life: beauty, wit, style, hospitality, brilliance, and the conditions under which a world becomes more vivid without becoming more coercive.
About the book
The Desirable World asks how beauty, wit, style, hospitality, brilliance, and collective brightness might be received without being punished, trivialized, or forced to disguise themselves as seriousness.
