Letters from Our Readers

Readers respond to Anthony Lane's essay about Christopher Marlowe, Lauren Collins's report on Uniqlo, and Dhruv Khullar's article about A.I. and medical diagnosis. I very much enjoyed Anthony Lane's gleeful review of Stephen Greenblatt's new biography of Christopher Marlowe (Books, September 15th). Lane reminds us that Marlowe took the plot of his play "Dido, Queen of Carthage" from Virgil's Aeneid. I'm not convinced, though, that Virgil would "blench" at Marlowe's opening scene, where a lecherous Jupiter entertains Ganymede, a boy, on his knee. Have another look at the opening verses of the Aeneid (especially Book I, line 28).
