The New York Times has published a confession of sorts by Taffy Brodesser-Akner, titled “Why on Earth Have I Seen the Same Broadway Show 13 Times? An Investigation.” It’s worth reading, at least if you’re at roughly the same time of life as its author (and this post’s author). The piece can be read as a journalistic translation into our contemporary times of themes from Walker Percy’s The Moviegoer. There are differences between Taffy Brodesser-Akner and Binx Bolling, but similarities as well.
