Tim-

Thanks for tip on new yorker piece on maynard.  i could use the laugh--

i expected the disdain, but I am surprised by the disinterest.  When I
am affected by a literary work, I want to know all I can about the
person who wrote it.  What might he have said to her about his writing
that he hasn't said to the world? i know , i know. . .why the hell trust
her rendition of their odd little affair?  I don't. But i suppose that
some of it is true--his function as a father to mathew and peggy is
flattering. . .and emphasizes his themes of idealized childhood.

maybe at nineteen , maynard just got too old for him!

now back to literary discourse. . .
