Put This On

This week I’ve been rereading The Confessions of a Hoaxer—my local library had it when I was very young, and by courtesy of interlibrary loan I am reading it again for the first time in years. Alan Abel is one of the few people I’ve ever envied for his choice of career. His daughter Jenny has produced and directed a documentary, Abel Raises Cain, premiering at the Slamdance Film Festival in a few weeks.
