Hi, Sam--
First, thank you for your smart, funny newsletters; they turned me into a more faithful (and maybe more critical) reader of The New Yorker.
I must admit that Jonathan Franzen's story left me cold--but your assessment suggests that, one of these days, I ought to give it another look. Besides, the opinions of anyone who loves Han Ong's "Ming" as much as I do are not to be dismissed.
