One more note on the Freed Screed

The website of author Lynn Freed, whose essay in the July Harper's magazine caused a small stir as well as a funny but somewhat strained parody, says the essay was actually scheduled for September* -- when her memoir (from which the "essay" was no doubt drawn) is scheduled to be released. But it made much more sense to release it in July, at the beginning of summer lit workshop season.

* Thanks to someone on the Emerging Writers Network blog for pointing that out.
