A Man of His Time
Imagine you had to pick one person to represent a certain era. Who would you choose for the 1920s? The 2000s? The 1780s? It’s an interesting thought exercise, and in Arthur Ashe: A Life, Raymond Arsenault presents a compelling case for why Ashe, more than anyone, lived a life that most reflected his time.

And every 10 years or so, something causes readers to notice that Jung somehow endures, chugging along as he always has.
