....but if you love Katherine Mansfield, you could do worse than to read
anything and everything that John Cheever ever wrote....  (I have a tape of
Cheever reading "The Swimmer", which is maybe the most valuable relic in my
entire audio collection.... Maybe I'll dub it and send it to Rick and Mirjam
as a 'getting together' present.  But if I do so, there'll be three copies
in the world--which seems infinitely less precious than only two copies.  If
I were truly generous, I'd send them my copy....  Is anybody else having a
day in which everything seems to be a moral dilemma?)

Cheers,

Paul
