Talk:Daphne Merkin

Excerpt
A brief excerpt from a Wall Street Journal Online article that mentions Ms. Merkin:

"The writer Daphne Merkin offers the perfect cautionary tale about the dangers of giving the public Too Much Information. In 1996 Merkin published an essay in The New Yorker describing the erotic pleasure she found in spanking. Her sensational article hardly stalled her career; if anything it increased her name recognition. Understandably Ms. Merkin doesn't regret her essay, which she continues to believe to be "both intellectually and emotionally daring." But she kids herself when she says "I'm known more for the rigor of my thinking. . . than I am for revelations about my erotic preferences." Her article is still the major fact of her public identity; she will forever and always be Daphne Likes-to-Be-Spanked Merkin. This is not because the shocked public wants Ms. Merkin to cover herself up. It is because Ms. Merkin has invited us to know her by information that has far more power than her insights into Virginia Woolf." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.162.0.46 (talk • contribs).

I don't know who deleted my recent Edit on Merkin's brother, or why. Since the article made a point of both mentioning Merkin's late father, and providing a link to his Wiki article, similar information on her now well-known brother is relevant and should be provided, since much of Ms.Merkin's writing--both fiction and non-fiction--concerns her family. I have restored my previous edit, with a few modifications of possibly innacurate or POV statements, so that it is neutral and accurate, in corformity with Wikipedia's guidlines. If anyone has objections to the text or its contents, please discuss on this talk page, and please do not simply delete someone's contribution in wholesale fashion. 66.108.7.225 (talk) 05:09, 22 December 2008 (UTC) Nash's Owner
