Description
She said to me, “The stuff you write—such mean stories.” It was 1989. The woman was a college professor at Columbia University, and what I remember most clearly was the gorgeous mohair suit she was wearing as she spoke. I had been admiring that suit, watching the way the nap of the fabric caught the light. It was not something I would have worn, but I appreciated it. It was evidence that the professor knew exactly who she was and what she had to be conŠdent about. I had no such certainty. I had just Šnished my stint as a guest in her class, and though I had enjoyed myself, it had been hard work.
