Only the most perverse and insecure try to attack their critics
directly when the reviews are bad, and some authors have been
known to write thank-you notes to reviewers who wrote perceptively,
honestly, and, of course, positively. It’s always nice to see one’s name
in print, especially when the review is complimentary; when it’s not,
it gives most writers a starting place for cocktail party conversation;
i.e., "What does he know? He hated Bill Kennedy’s stuff, too."
