LARB on EVA BRANN AND 'PURSUITS OF HAPPINESS'

Peggy Ellsberg wrote a long and glowing review of Eva Brann's Pursuits of Happiness in the Los Angeles Review of Books.

“[Brann] is a person of many strong interests. The central chapter of this book, 'On Being Interested,' offers a road map to staying happy: cultivate real interests . . . As an American, my encounter with Brann’s work calls me back to a sense of my own good fortune. Against a keening background noise of lament—over the economy, the climate, the pandemic, the predations of technology, crime—Eva Brann’s bright witness lifts me up and out.”
