Assignment for Wednesday, 04-22-15

Dear Roman Readers,

On Wednesday, April 20, we move into the 1980s with two Roman essays from esteemed travel writer, Paul Hofmann. Please do the following:

(1) Read Hofmann's 2008 obituary in the New York Times, which will also serve as a factsheet.

(2) Download, print, and read the two essays from Hofmann's 1983 memoir, Rome: The Sweet, Tempestuous Life: "Coffee and Ice Cream" and "Time in an Eternal City." Not only will you enjoy these, but they'll offer you something aspirational for your own writing in May and June.
