		<description>Dear Tara, Marilena and Peli, 
I am really touched by your interest in my thoughts on complaining!  Peli, yes, I&#039;m afraid it&#039;s going to be tough for you to rustle up a copy of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lrb.co.uk/subscribe/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;LRB&lt;/a&gt; in a cultural wasteland like Harvard... I think I actually saw one once on the floor of the toilet in the Barker center (but that was of course the women&#039;s toilet).  I will put up a link when it comes out---I think it&#039;s gonna be the issue of 11/20.  
Hamsters! e</description>

		<description>Elif dear, 
I feel exactly like one of those hamsters these days, but I--diligent subscriber--look forward to finding fresh copies of both journals in my modest Sicilian mailbox.</description>

		<description>Hey Elif. I&#039;m excited for your LRB article, &quot;On Complaining&quot; and can&#039;t wait to forward it to all my exes. Also, I&#039;d help unload the n+1 truck were I not working tonight.

Hamsters!,
