Except that I'm enjoying it immensely. Would you mind cc-ing the
exchange to me?
For those who haven't stumbled on it one way or another yet, there is
another account of Joyce Maynard's book--a review--in this week's _New
Yorker_ (aug. 24 & 31). The reviewer is pro-Salinger, for the most
part, but the excerpts he quotes manage to surpass the excerpts in
_Vanity Fair_ in terms of scurrilousness.
