The Wonder Scott

It is not often I am with someone who outenthusiasms myself, yet once again Scott Stedman has left me choking on his superlatives.

Scott came through Paris in the year 2000 and stayed at Shakespeare and Company at the same time I did. He was working on a Walter Benjamin project (which is well documented in my book), has a head full of eccentricities (which are well documented in my book) and is a genuine friend (which I hope comes across in my book). Scott fears my rendering of him might leave readers with the impression he is somewhat limp. Far from the truth! Rigorous, sturdy, studly, that is our Scott Stedman.

Scott is also the mastermind behind The L Magazine, which is a potent (potent!) mix of listings and progressive content. He has sacrificed about 4 years of sleep to get this magazine up and moving and it simply wouldn’t have happened without his optimism and moxy.
