read in July, 2008

Kathryn Kathryn said: "Granted I read Patchett's Truth and Beauty first-- this one left me unimpressed. Patchett talked about Greely's enormous talent, but not much shined through here. Along the lines of Truth & Beauty, Greely seems self-absorbed and self/face-obsesse...more "

read in September, 2008

Kathryn Kathryn said: "I first read an Ali Smith story when I was in England for the summer. She's wonderful and it's surprising that she's not very well-known. She concentrates almost exclusively on women, and writes them really well, which is kind of unusual. She's a les...more "

read in November, 2008

Kathryn Kathryn said: "Essential reading, as hardly anyone ever addresses the genocide that occurred in the Congo. However, the author is given to writing in a too-narrativey style, re: "Imagine Leopold sitting at his desk, writing..." or "No one knows what ...more "

read in August, 2008

Kathryn Kathryn said: "Awesome. Commenting on Roth is a little daunting. In his own words, a fantastic documentation of the fall of American Pastoral and the rise of American bizerk. The weaving of the last chapter, the dinner scene at the Swede's, is fantastic. Very much ...more "
