Thanks, Jenny. I had seen this piece ages ago and am very happy to be reintroduced to it. One might teach it to undergraduates, paired with James Thurber's classic "The Macbeth Murder Mystery," for a discussion of culturally conditioned interpretation.
I have published four novels and two academic books; forthcoming in 2014 is "Reading Style: A Life in Sentences." I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
