...have to understand,” he used to say to his Professor of Independent Studies, “this music is more than just music. It cuts to your soul, man. It’s like...flowers in the dirt of life. And the flowers play instruments.” Michael’s friends murmured stoned assent...
...July, and my brother Isaac had a college application to write. If Tom Cruise could find his soul and the obligatory Asian chick in Japan, my brother should have no problem getting an essay topic.

I had planned our trip from Boston, preparing for an exotic land of kimonos and haikus; my brother packed his bags in Taiwan, thinking of schoolgirl uniforms and manga comics. Isaac won.

The former New York City-based sex columnist trades in matters of the soul these days rather than the flesh, organizing house parties and bringing home arty waifs in the manner of an old-style salonière. Her grand old house in Amsterdam's southern suburbs has only two guest rooms, so book well in advance. If the mistress of the house is around, be prepared...
