Ooh. Do you think Andre would take my copy of Letters To Alice along to Fay Weldon to sign? (a favourite book I insist my students read -- it's a novel that explains why it's so important -- and such fun -- to read).

if i remember correctly it was Fay's Letters that found me my favourite, Lady Susan, whom most Austenites seem to wish firmly into her closet

Lady Susan! That glorious, thoroughly nasty piece of work! But Lady Susan is all of a piece with the Juvenilia, the delicious OTT bitchiness of Love and Freindship (no, not a typo). The Janeites can get up my nose with their insistence that Jane Austen was such a genteel type. She wasn't. She was uber-intelligent, bored and incredibly frustrated much of the time.
