New York Review of Books See separate New York Review of Books syllabus
LaFleur, Longevity Mountain (book proposal)
The book proposal (a version of it for a more "popular" audience—which may or may not be its final destination) is available on Round and Square. Please be aware that the version you will be reading is about "fifteen percent more 'bloggy'" than the draft versions I have been revising...and the entire project is still in flux, as we will discuss. Just concentrate on (and around) the mountains. Note that there is a bit of telescoped redundancy in the beginning of the "Divinatory Economics" essay, which compresses some of the material in the opening scenes of the longer manuscript. This will all be smoothed out before publication. You "get to" confront the messiness of creation, for better or worse.

Introduction 1: Book Proposal
Introduction 2: Table of Contents
Longevity Mountain (Writing Sample—Scenes 1-12)
The readings should be easy to navigate. After reading the introduction and table of contents, make your way through all twelve "scenes" (these are available through links on the top and bottom of each page). This is less reading than usual, but still formidable (about 30,000 words, or ninety pages in manuscript form).
