    Lapham's is SO good. They occasionally have sales on back issues. I can recommend this collection: https://store.laphamsquarterly.us/collections/lewis-lapham-e...

    This was a very compelling read. Everyone feels the lure of climbing to the tree house, yet where did it come from? What motivated our desires for the tree houses? Now we have some answers, they are surprising to me. I guess for myself I did get the idea from reading children's books, The Swiss Family Robinson anyone?

    Not sure I'd like that Solomon treehouse, maybe it feels like a ship swaying back and forth

    Out of student loans and treehouse homes we all would take the ladder

    Just saw the spectacular picture of that Papuan treehouse in the same National Geographic yesterday!Online courtesy of the Internet Archive at https://archive.org/details/edg-ng-1981/edg%20NG%201996-02%2... (People of the Trees, p. 34)

    I've thought about building a nice treehouse retreat on my property. It'd be a sweet way to avoid increasing property taxes but still have a guest room, or a library. But I live where there are bark scorpions, meaning at night they're crawling all up and down those trees. Would have to be hella sealed.
