Behind you! Boo.
Admittedly, this is an odd question, but does anyone know how to pronounce "Lapham" in Roger Rosenblatt's Lapham Rising? LAP-ham? LAY-fam? Laf-am? I've tried Google. He doesn't know, or he won't say.

I ask because I'm supposed to meet this author soon and I don't want to sound like an idiot. I did actually read the book.

Well, I can't give you an answer...but it could make for a good conversation starter if you word your question and follow-up question right.
