Letters to the Editor

Dear Andrew,
That was a beautiful interview. That was art. The topic is so... "delicate," is not the right word, but it will have to do. Much more like capturing butterflies, alive, than shooting buffalo. It sounds very much like this is Morris's sensibility, and the way in which you conveyed how that sensibility worked on you, over the interview, was generous. I don't know that I will have an opportunity to see Morris's film, but if I can see it I will. Thanks for your delicate, humorous, and respectful treatment of this film and this topic. I've been getting a lot from your work generally, but this piece made it necessary to write you a fan-letter. You write a nuanced and precise prose, with an excellent sense for what is interesting, and, even more rare, for what is interesting about what is interesting. I am sooo jealous. Thanks.
