Dear Publisher ...

Dear Publisher,

Was it really necessary for you to change the eighth edition of your intro to literature text *just enough* so that (1) I have to redo the syllabi for the first third of the semester and (2) none of my students could buy the book used?

Also, I would question your decision to replace an allegory about British colonialism in Asia with a 9/11 story published last year. Newness does not make a story more relevant.

Thank you for providing countless hours of entertainment.
