"The secret life of a letter to the editor"

Apparently the letter sold insurance and had three wives, one in Hoboken, one in Portland, and one in St. Petersburg.

In the current New Yorker is a letter to the editor from Valerie Lawson, in response to Caitlin Flanagan’s December 19 article on Pamela Travers, the creator of Mary Poppins. Lawson is the author of a biography of Travers, and her letter reads like a relatively benign effort to make clear the decades-long effort by Poppins scholars to tease out Travers’s elusive life story. It did not begin that way, as this lengthy — and not so benign — e-mail thread between Lawson and editors at The New Yorker shows. The exchange offers a glimpse at the sausage-factory aspect of how the magazine handles complaints, and raises interesting questions about what journalists owe, in terms of recognition, to their sources.

Emails and letters: not that far apart

Apparently, we deal with emails very much the way we used to deal with paper letters. Hm. I don't remember rolling my eyes and feeling buried by obligation back when I was analog. Of course, I was about 10 last time I was analog. I also don't remember all the porn flyers, but I might have blocked those out.

How will we discover our favourite writers are perverts?
If nobody's keeping their e-mail?

Today, a new challenge awaits literary biographers and cultural historians: e-mail. The problem isn't that writers and their editors are corresponding less, it's that they're corresponding infinitely more -- but not always saving their e-mail messages. Publishing houses, magazines and many writers freely admit they have no coherent system for saving e-mail, let alone saving it in a format that would be easily accessible to scholars. Biography, straight up or fictionalized, is arguably one of today's richest literary forms, but it relies on a kind of correspondence that's increasingly rare, or lost in cyberspace.

Are there transcripts available?

Hi Rich,

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello. Nice time slot, eh? It's apparently airing again on the 24th at 9 pm -- a little more reasonable.

Have no idea as to where to post this, so I figured this looked like a mighty fine spot!

Just saying hello. Saw you on C-SPAN at 3AMish December 20th, 2004. Figured I'd drop you a line, and let you know you're not the only one who saw the fat-kid-star-wars thing.

G'day.
