My first experience with Malamud came in 11th grade English class, when "The Natural" was part of our summer reading list. When time came to write an essay on it, for some reason, the evil teacher was CONVINCED that I didn't read the book but watched the movie instead. Which I didn't! I had to spend half an hour after school trying to prove that yes, I actually read the book.

Now, "The Scarlet Letter", on the other hand...
