Do we really need it to be more challenging than that, though? I think not.

Jubail Mangrove Park is a green expanse of gray mangrove trees on the northeastern edge of Abu Dhabi’s Al Jubail island, where shallow tidal waterways spill out into the clear blue Arabian Sea. It’s a tranquil world away from the shimmering skyscrapers and heat-hazed hustle of downtown Abu Dhabi, albeit just a short drive away. Dreamlike destinationThe Jubail Mangrove Park is an unexpected green escape from the deserts of Abu Dhabi. And observing those genes in action in Abu Dhabi could be a good sign. “It is the only place in Abu Dhabi where you can see so much green.”

Sinead O’Connor is alone, which is how she prefers to be. She has been riding out the pandemic in a tiny village on an Irish mountaintop, watching murder shows, buying fairy-garden trinkets online and mainlining American news on CNN. Bubble-gum roses lined the windows, and the Hindu goddess Durga stretched her eight arms across a blanket on a cozy cherry couch. “Deliberately, I bought uncomfortable chairs, because I don’t like people staying long,” she said. “I like being on my own.” But she disclosed this with such an impish giggle that it sounded almost like an invitation.

Scott, however, wanted something more in line with his arid sense of humor: a foot roast. That’s how we ended up gathered on a roof telling amputation jokes and making bad puns about Scott getting “cold feet” before the wedding. The next day we stood, masked and socially distanced, in Golden Gate Park with our closest friends, gathered at a week’s notice. When I unpacked Scott’s suitcase at home, I discovered his right shoe rolled up in a trash bag. Covid precautions would make it hard for friends or family to help or even visit, and the hospital would only allow Scott a single visitor per day.

☆ Case of the Brooklyn Symbolist

Paul Auster writes novels about lonely souls who try to make meaning out of circumstance -- and he writes under circumstances that look suspiciously meaningful: his office, a small studio apartment, is bare and white and smudged with Brooklyn grime. The window shades are always drawn; were they raised, you would see a brick wall across an air shaft. The same man called the next day and asked again for the venerable detective agency. The novel's protagonist is a solitary writer named Quinn who on three different nights gets a phone call from a man looking for "Paul Auster. Of the Auster Detective Agency."
