en Hadley Freeman Adam Gopnik: ‘You’re waltzing along and suddenly you’re portrayed as a monster of privilege’ w:The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/dec/08/adam-gopnik-interview-portrayed-monster-privilege 2017-12-08 Adam Gopnik has, by many accounts, including his own, a lovely life.
