A wonderful piece, Myles. Loved this line: The presence of personalities that made tennis feel human, electric, and alive.

They are irreplaceable. Gael has been my favorite player for more than a decade, and I swear I could watch Stan hit one-handed backhands for a solid hour and still want more.

The Magician, Toibin’s fictional biography of Thomas Mann held me rapt—and so unexpectedly. You remind me I must read The Master. Don’t miss Glenway Wescott’s The Pilgrim Hawk. I read it once a year! (James, not since school)

Daddio was an absorbing surprise. Great writing and acting. Sean Penn, Dakota Johnson
