Time to apply for the Junior Fellowship at First Things. As I wrote last year, here are

Some of the Things You Might Do As a First Things Junior Fellow (Not All in One Week):

Monday, 3 pm: First Things editorial meeting; 8 pm: $15 tickets for Wagner’s Die Walküre at the Metropolitan Opera

Tuesday: Read the New York Review of Books, Times Literary Supplement, Claremont Review of Books, and Books and Culture. (And take out the recycling at home.)

Wednesday: Read manuscript submissions and write a daily article or a post for the blog.

Thursday, 2:30 pm: Edit article or blog post with Jody Bottum; 8:00 pm: Performance of David Ives’ adaptation of Mark Twain’s Is He Dead? at the Lyceum Theater near Times Square

Friday, 11 am: Email about new and upcoming books with the editor of Books and Culture.
