AtDRe: AtD review for the New Yorker

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

Fine , great, cool---I understand. Probably best to allow the book to do It's own thing anyway.

Every "Against the Day" post I'll post with "AtD" in the subject line---right up front. If you don't wanna know, don't open it, make some room 'round these parts for some sub rosa conversations and side bets. If what's being pointed at links to another site, I'll only print the link. Consider                   AtD                           in the subject line as a kind of mute, maybe a Harmon, for a posthorn.

I think were're all in for a fine show, 'round these parts.
