A sort of feud …

… Lionel Shriver v Cynthia Ozick: hurrah for the new literary beef | Books | The Guardian. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Read the whole thing. But I think Ozick’s response is rather playful, not vengeful. A witty badinage. I know Lionel, and I love her, and she can take it. She may well see this in the same light as I do.
