Thanks Amalia. Does Cossío actually fictionalise those very people for some of her characters? I'd well understand if she did - they're crying out to feature in novels. Forgive a cliche, but Ritter & Strauch are almost so good you couldn't make them up.

Bloggers are indeed lucky in that respect. And yes, I wouldn't venture to say whether or not that particular anecdote's true, but it was an interesting decision to use Muldoon's real name... There's a NYT review with an interesting point about the book's focus on the New Yorker in general here - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/06/books/review/Orr-t.html
