Really enjoyed your thoughts on taste as a ceiling, and the often invisible work that goes into developing it. Also, your writing on Nabokov--you've spent some time with him, and it shows. Cheers!
Thanks so much Chris! Funny how spending time with topics like his work for an essay is weirdly exactly the education I need at that moment. Grateful for your essays bringing to light more kinds of invisible work too

Made me think “De gustibus non est disputandem” isn’t a derogatory comment, it’s a statement of fact.
This is one of the best things I've read on taste. So wonderful, thank you Kristin!
Nabokov's style is incredible! I recommend his books to everyone
Marvellous essay. Very interesting and captivating. The references alone are "worth the trip". :)
