ABSTRACT
I remember reading somewhere in an article somewhere an account by the author wherein his teacher one day leaned over and told him softly that you should always keep two passports handy; and, the text went on in its proairetic way, that teacher was none other than George Steiner. And I, who do precisely that, that is to say, keep two passports handy, I wonder: what’s he yelling about? For George Steiner comes recommended.
