Author/Reviewer Death Match Round 2: deBotton v Crain


Must be the heat.

Alain de Botton (author of The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work to Caleb Crain (NYT Review of Books): "I will hate you till the day I die and wish you nothing but ill will in every career move you make. I will be watching with interest and schadenfreude."

Old: "I never read reviews."

New: "You won't like me when I'm angry."
