But I'm serious when I sat I think authors should go ahead and get mad publicly if they think a review is off. And I say that as a reviewer who would inevitably get hammered someday -- but we're all human, and emotion drives our connection to books as much as intellect does. The literary world could use more of that heat, I think.

You are very generous. I think I was over-exhausted from 2 months of continuous travel - and have come to heartily regret a momentary impulse. I hope you won't be disgusted by me forever. Very good wishes - and thanks for coming to the Getty. Oh do forgive me for my irrational outburst. You are very generous. I think I was over-exhausted from 2
