*** Kill Your Darlings ***

Steven Rinella, New York Times

It’s easy to imagine what people have in mind: the contemplative author in a lamp-lit study juxtaposed with the wilderness brute, arms sunk to the elbows in animal viscera. While I recognize the gulf that separates these two images, the skills required for hunting and writing are remarkably similar, even complementary.

> Monk’s book provides by far the most thorough survey yet written of Oppenheimer’s physics.
