I enjoyed the author's reviews of plays, musicals, and books quite a bit, and also her letters. Her short stories were fine, although I hated every story that was told in the first person narrative aside from “Mrs. Hofstadter on Josephine Street”. The poetry I mostly skipped, not because of any lack on the author's part but because poetry doesn't do anything for me; I just end up bored.
