Pollitt's lover victim named
Last week in The New Yorker, Nation columnist Katha Pollitt confessed at length about web-stalking the lover who left her for a younger art critic. Pollitt never named the man, but she published enough clues that friends would know who it is -- and anyone who cared could figure it out. So the New York Observer did: He is Paul Mattick, a Marxist professor of philosophy at Adelphi University. His new girlfriend "seems to be Katy Siegel, an assistant professor of art history at Hunter College and a contributing editor of Artforum." (New York Observer, scroll down to "Katha Pollitt, S.W.F.")

I laughed out loud several times while reading Pollitt's confession. Now Professor Workingclasshero can publish a rejoinder, complete with a detailed description of Pollitt's favorite erogenous zones. Makes for good reading in these somber times.
Posted by: Bruce Bebb at July 7, 2004 02:59 PMBy the way, as a reformed wanna-be Casanova (age reformed me) I wonder at the people who belive all this stuff should be kept private. I recently "outed" Chuck C. and Clancy as predatory 13-steppers in a 12-step meeting. One old lady (possibly a former willing victim) got so upset she left the meeting.
Would I like it if a former wife or girlfriend talked publicly about my sex life? Who the hell cares?
