Stone's piece is often awkward, and far too serious for what could have been a delightful account of Wolfson's eccentric life and habits. And as all academic biographies do, he includes the inevitable description of the scholar's office, littered high with papers and books, in which the genius can find a 20-year-old magazine within seconds...
