Dear Jack - I have only now managed to [corral?] some writing material, as I would have written sooner to thank you for the book of short stories, "Cross-Section." I enjoyed it very much, particularly "[Zaunchi?] the Chicken" by Eli Waldrow, and Richard Wright's "Early Days in Chicago." Many of the stories, I noticed," are written in the truncated, headless-and-legless style made popular, almost mandatory, by the New Yorker. As for the poems, the preface says they are [obscurantist?], and I am ready to go along with that.As always, reading any contemporary writing always fires me with a desire to try my hand at it once again. I am bursting into the things I want to say, but my prose always comes out bearing an eerie resemblance to that of Eleanor Roosevelt
