premise: Malamud's daughter, Janna Malamud Smith, has just now brought out a book called Private  In Defense of the Personal Life , in which she says that, coming across a sexual scene in one of her father's novels, she put the book down in embarrassment, out of daughterly modesty.
hypothesis: Malamud's daughter, in her new book, talked about the relationship between her and her father's books- and everyone wanted to know about it.
