Mark Helprin is a literary gift. My wife introduced me to Winter’s Tale years ago. And Helprin’s pieces in places like the Wall Street Journal are always erudite, insightful, and informative. Looking forward to his new novel.
"My deference is calibrated only to their virtue, not according to their virtue" @27:30 If only more people had this insight. We wouldn't be in the situation we find ourselves today on so many fronts.
Really enjoying this interview as I see the news that the Iranian ship featured in Mr. Helprin's excellent newest novel just capsized at its berth the other day. Ha!
Homage: nothing to do with Cockney pronunciation. A French word, "homage" has H "muet" (silent), unlike "haricot" (string bean) which has H "aspiré" (breathed).
I love Eric's interviews

I'll listen to any interview of Mark Helprin, on any subject at all, and on a mission to read every word he's published. He's a genius.
Hear, hear! Thank you, MH. I owe you a letter.

His address to west point cadets, "I dodged the draft and I was wrong", is one of the best things I ever read.

Heydrich was assassinated by Czechs, not Poles.
Not a fan of Rothko art either
What a clumsy, self-important interviewer.
