I wish that this illustration didn’t bring Barack Obama to mind. Maybe it’s only me. I’ll bet not, though.
A better issue than usual, which is not saying much. I’ve decided to give up trying to parse Susann Cokal’s reviews, and I’m trying to be humble about it. I can’t expect myself to find every critic intelligible. It’s just that Ms Cokal has a way of making every book sound like a beach book, whether she likes it or not.
