I do like Menand, but it was so dense that I skimmed around. I liked the Maya Lin piece at the end best. I like that he is writing about people I know I should know more about - - Norman Mailer, TS Eliot,Oliver Wendell Holmes. It was hard to absorb everything here, though. Definitely not a quick read, but potentially a good resource to return to when I need more on a certain period or a person.
