Today, a dip into my notebook: A concert I cannot stop thinking about, representing a musical and intellectual project without compare right now; a new “museum” that turns the ethereal Epstein files into something very tangible indeed, and may be an irritation for Donald Trump; how to better entertain a family; and billionaire taxation may finally be having its moment.

If you enjoy these little glimpses of fragments and notes and photos before they become finished work, become a supporting subscriber.


The other day, in London, I experienced a concert unlike any I have seen before.
