Scope and content
His book is starting in the "New Yorker" this week. Feels 'restless and tense' so is going to New Mexico alone for two weeks. Saw the Lerner show in Boston, which got bad reviews. Discusses the show, stating 'Oliver's work is simply ugly'. Saw Leland's musical "Hot September". Liked it even though it got bad reviews. Read Beaton's card from Venice and 'noted, with pleasure, it's cheerful tone'. Discusses Beaton's paintings, saying that they are 'original, vital, forceful'. Jack and the animals are fine.
