Where her first book was written “trapped inside the walls” of personal grief, her new collection of essays, Vesper Flights, is a lamentation for the world itself.

![]() ![]() The episode, “The Circle Closes,” is the strongest of the season by far, fleshing out Frannie’s character, bringing back Randall Flagg and making him an effectively seductive villain for the first time, and even injecting some real stakes into proceedings.
