Re: JCO: New story

Thanks for the heads-up, Ryan. Did you know that the New Yorker editor Bill
Shawn rejected JCO's fiction for many years? Only with the advent of Tina
Brown did the magazine start using her work -- catching up for decades of lost
time in 1994 with the novella ZOMBIE. According to Greg Johnson's bio, John
Updike sent JCO a congratulations postcard noting that Shawn, by then deceased,
must be "twirling" in his grave.

I noticed that this week's New Yorker short story is written by JCO. It's
called "Spider Boy." Thought you'd like to know. You can read it free online
this week only at newyorker.com.

Enjoy!

Ryan.
