Reviewers Reviewed 13 Only the most perverse and insecure try to attack their critics directly when the reviews are bad, and some authors have been known to write thank-you notes to reviewers who wrote perceptively, honestly, and, of course, positively. It’s always nice to see one’s name in print, especially when the review is complimentary; when it’s not, it gives most writers a starting place for cocktail party conversation; i.e., "What does he know? He hated Bill Kennedy’s stuff, too." Denton, Texas Qay Reynolds
