I took the day off, to read Christian Jungersen’s The Exception. If you can imagine a thriller set in the office of a human-rights organization – but you can’t, not at least until you read this amazing novel. Marcel Theroux gave it a boost two weeks ago in the Book Review, and as you can see I couldn’t wait to read it. As for writing it up, that’ll be ticklish. Thrillers can difficult to cover.

Happily, there’s nothing so exciting in this week’s issue.
