...replacement has never been a regular reviewer. A Bryn Mawr graduate who went on to study comparative literature at Harvard and spent a year at the Sorbonne under the tutelage of Anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, Renata Adler has written wryly and perceptively on a variety of subjects in her five years with The New Yorker: literary critics, group therapy, civil rights marchers, and New Leftists.
