- BOOK REVIEW: On the dusty road to redemption (The Charlotte Observer)
In terms of literary chutzpah, writing your sophomore novel about a sophomore novelist is the kind of thing that tends to send eyebrows arching skyward. Maybe not as much as titling it "Winner of the National Book Award," as Jincy Willett once did, but still, it's a bold step. But with one move, Leif Enger defangs impending snarkiness with the deftness of a snake handler: He makes his character, ...

- Milking History: 'Amalia's Tale' by David I. Kertzer (The New York Sun)
'Nothing is so dangerous to its surroundings as a syphilitic infant." So wrote Alfred Fournier, a prominent French doctor whose exaggeration, back in the late 19th century, would be hard to blame.
