And The Blind Shall Lead The Blind: Reaction to a Floating Memoir

Abstract

My anger at the fishermen, I realize, was directed at the conspicuous costliness of their gear, the excessiveness of the new van, because otherwise, I would have to acknowledge them as other versions of myself. Frustrated because they were where I wanted to be and were doing what I wanted to do, I tried to divert the issue to how they were going about it all. I tried to make it an argument about character rather than envy.1
