In response to Our Man on Capri (November 30, 2000)
Shirley Hazzard's reply to the letter from Yvonne Cloetta [NYR, November 30, 2000] about David Lodge's review of Ms. Hazzard's book Greene on Capri contained three misprints. The third sentence of the first paragraph should have read: "When I began my reminiscence of the Capri years, she told me—as I think she will recall—that she looked forward to this work 'by one who loved him and whom he [not "she"] loved.'" The first sentence of the fifth paragraph should have read: "Greene's reiterated longing for peace, contrasted with a willfully agitated existence that drew him to scenes of conflict and oppression, is a central [not 'general'] dichotomy I need not reexamine here." The penultimate sentence of the sixth paragraph should have read: "Although the author addresses me by first name, I have never heard of or from him." We regret these errors.
In Gabriele Annan's review of Günter Grass's novel Too Far Afield [NYR, November 30, 2000], Peter Schlemihl should have been identified as the creation of Adelbert von Chamisso, not E.T.A. Hoffmann.
In Frederick Crews's letter [NYR, December 21, 2000] about Daniel Mendelsohn's review of Freud's Megalomania by Israel Rosenfield, a word was misprinted in footnote three. The quotation from Freud should have read: "It is precisely gastralgias of this character which can be interrupted [not 'interpreted'] by an application of cocaine to the 'gastric spot' discovered by [Fliess] in the nose, and which can be cured by cauterization of the same spot" (Standard Edition, 7:78). We regret the error.
