Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
With raves for her book dissecting modernist marriages and a hot new journalism job at NYU, has feminism's enfant terrible finally grown up?
  • Ruff-ruff Roiphe?

    In an otherwise interesting and nicely-written article, I was struck by this odd phrasing:

    "snuffling so dilligently through the detritus"

    Did Traister purposely try to portray Roiphe as a hungry pug rummaging around the paper plates after a barbecue?
