I have known the author of this memoir, Professor Jerome Cohen, on and off for some decades through his son, Ethan Cohen, a top gallerist in New York who introduced the likes of Ai Weiwei to America. As part of the respect you show the parents of a friend, you don’t probe in detail about their history or achievements or stature in the world—appropriate interest is fine, but not too much direct questioning. They will tell you stuff if they want to. Well, as it turns out, there was a lot I wasn’t told.
