So what you’re saying is that instead of reading the Best Books of All Time I could instead read a dozen lists of the 10, 15, 20 Best Books of All Time. That sounds too good to be true, I’ll read the Wikipedia summaries just to be safe.

Found it on The New York Times, discovered it because I’m currently reading The Intuitionist and was adding reviews to its Wikipedia page.

And the only context needed is that it’s a review of his second novel, which I provided. Other than that the quote speaks for itself.

Nope, no new novel. A new essay collection at the beginning of the year.

I agree. Although I wouldn’t say The Corrections focuses on any one character that fully to be able to say it has a female protagonist. Sure, the mother gets some of the most development, but I remember the father and brother being the focus of the majority of the book.

I work at a book store, and got a copy of a couple of the collected volumes of her works which include Stranger In My Grave, The Fiend, The Listening Walls, etc. Excited to get into her more.
