NYT Review of a new book on Tiptree

Janet Maslin's review of new book on James Tiptree Jr. highights the troubled life rather than the seismic influence Sheldon/Tiptree had on perceptions of gender and writing, but is typical of "high lit" dismissal of "genre" writing. The book sounds good, if a bit humorless.

Great, then I'll put it on my "to borrow sometime" list -- ha ha!

Ha ha -- not to sound boring, but the boat I'm going to be on will slowly go by ancient rock paintings (when, hopefully, I can take lots of pictures). Who knows? Maybe I will find time for some rafting too -- but it is much more likely I will be cruising through UFF, the Finnish charity thrift store chain.
