I’m not sure I understand Updike’s “dig”. He wants to write criticism, bully for him; but I’m uncomfortable with the idea that a novelist should be expected to do absolutely anything other than write novels.

Percy haunts me, I tell ya! The man even approached me in person a few nights ago. So I guess between that and your mention, it means I have to check him out!

Oh goodee, I’ve been looking forward to that new Benjamin Percy book ever since I started reading his stories in the Paris Review.
