It is a sparkling Sunday morning in early autumn, and one of the world’s leading public intellectuals, dressed in a mod jacket and sandals and swigging from a can of Diet Coke, is giving me the benefit of his experience on cheap London hotels. “This one” - he points to it - “is pretty reasonable. Not cheap, you know, but cheap for London. There are other good ones around here, if you know where to look. And you can walk everywhere from here.”

Speaking of which, SZ will be in New York in November, showing what he calls his favorite movie, “The Fountainhead,” at the IFC Theater. The next day, Astra Taylor’s splendid documentary on the great man will make its New York premiere.
