Your mom is quoted in “The New Yorker”. That is just so cool, Neil! Congratulations on having a famous mom!

I really like Danny’s suggestion! Can I be written into the script as a copy editor or editor at that company? (I need a full-time, if imaginary, job!)

Neil, you’ve got “yichus” (ask Mom what that means, if you don’t already know; it’s ’cause of her that you’ve got it.)

Your mom is the coolest. You should develop a sitcom script set at a New York publisher with your mom as the main character. Maybe Helen Mirren can play her.

Neil, I used to read my big sister’s Cosmos for the same reason–the LITERARY value and the artistic photo of Burt Reynolds (first male centerfold, for those of you who are not ANCIENT like me).

I’m glad your mom got her 15 minutes of fame, and working in accounts, I’m sure she’s so PROUD of her son, the coupon clipper. We are too. XO

I actually owe a lot to Farrar Straus and Girous. Because publishing pays so little, they usually let people take home a free copy of each book published. So, you can imagine how many books we were surrounded by. At a certain point, my mother just stopped taking books home because there was no room. I got my love for reading and literature by skimming through all the novels she bought home for the dirty parts.

If I ever got my name in the New Yorker, I’d be sleeping with the issue, hugging it to my chest. Congrats and sweet dreams Mrs Kramer!
