  17. This about the Women's Review of Books.  The story is that they reviewed
  18. the book of a friend of mine with several other up-and-coming black women
  19. authors.  (She's a poet.)  But she isn't black, and no one ever checked w/
  20. her to make sure.  The reviewer felt that Jeanne had somehow been dishonest.
  21. (Her book has several major black characters.)
