Tabula rasa. Volume 1 / John McPhee.
Looking back at his career from the vantage point of his desk drawer, and reflecting on projects he never got around to - people to profile, regions he meant to portray, a literary legend presents a collection of vignettes and a "reminiscent montage" from a writing life.
