“For the past twenty-seven summers, my wife, Liza Donnelly, and I have gone to the same Downeast home, and over those years, have built a small library of books, some New Yorker<\/em>-centric (but many having nothing to do with the magazine).” Depicted in the photo are “most of the books either brought here or bought here at library book sales.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Occasionally,” Maslin confessed, “I take a book back to New York,” depriving their growing summer library of the volume\u2014such as James Thurber’s The Seal in the Bedroom<\/em>, which flippered back with them last year at summer’s end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The titles by Liebling, Benchley, Capote, Beattie are like good friends,” Maslin wrote. “I enjoy seeing them, being around them. Adam Begley’s Updike<\/em> biography came up with us this year. I’m on my third read through, visiting parts I just had to experience again (last night I re-read the part about Updike driving into Manhattan to meet William Shawn for the very first time, but having to delay the meeting by a day because he (Updike) got lost somewhere in the vicinity of the Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey). Someone should do a collection of pieces about Updike driving. About a decade ago, at a library sale up near the Canadian border, I found a first edition of Updike’s Rabbit, Run<\/em> (still dust-jacketed) for about 75 cents. That too went back to New York to sit on the Updike shelf.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
