What an interesting read.
Ethics (and Other Liabilities) is a collection of essays which were originally published over the course of two years in Esquire magazine. Each essay addresses a different question, often stemming from an experience of the author or a friend of his.
The questions, though they were compiled and published in 1982, remain relevant. The specific details of the stories obviously seem dated, but in a funny way that just serves to remind the reader of the durability of the problems.
Stein is perceptive and economical in his writing. What I would really like to do is read it again, one essay at a time, and discuss each with someone else as we work our way through the volume.
I don't read many books twice.
