Vanity Fair runs its recurring question feature, “The Proust Questionnaire,” and I just recently learned the weekly online magazine Airmail runs a questionnaire of its own, featuring an alphabetical list of prompts for featured guests. I’m putting the question set to myself, and hoping you will do it, too, so I can learn more about you. It’s fun. It’s easy. Why not?
