Melanie Jackson, agent, not her husband, P.

[Mark Kohut]

Cynthia Ozick's new novel is called *Antiquities, *see her
witty verse response in a letter to the editor about Lionel Shriver's review
in the NYTBR. (I did not read Ms Shriver's negative review)

It is dedicated to MELANIE JACKSON, "*who makes things happen". *

Although a small work, I am not sure I will have time to read it but
I will say, I loved the opening. Seemed just right and v inviting to me.

That is all.
