I don't share the sentiment here. I find the essay too long and boring. I usually enjoy reading his valuable essays but this one is too much about his life which is not that interesting to be honest, given I don't know him personally. But that's OK, not every essay needs to appeal to everyone.

I agree with you. He seems so enamored with himself as an essay writer that he does too much writing and takes too long to get to any point.

Unfortunately I would have to agree. It reads like a note to self vs an essay for public consumption

  Which of course is how the essay ends. He reveals that it was a note to himself.

    Yes, I saw that. However is a disclaimer a saving grace? Particularly for an author who’s other work is very highly polished
