At Olvar Wood, I read/finished the following:

• Krissy Kneen's Affection: a memoir of love, sex and intimacy

• Erica Jong, Seducing the Demon: Writing for my Life

• David Levithan's 9/11 novel Love is the Higher Law, and

• Cate Kennedy's short story collection Dark Roots.

Since then I've been trying to re-absorb the collected works of J. D. Salinger, who was my area of expertise for the Literary Smackdown. In the end, those questions didn't happen, but it's been good rereading them anyway.
