My review of Heidi Julavits’ new novel, The Vanishers, in Sunday’s Inquirer. I was ambivalent about this novel. It has some real strengths and some equally, ah, real weaknesses, I felt. She’s funny, though, and I admire and enjoy that.
My review of Erin Kelly’s 90s-goth mystery-thriller, The Dark Rose, is in today’s Inquirer. I got a kick out of this one.
My review of a new novel by Hilma Wolitzer is in this Sunday’s Philadelphia Inquirer. It’s kind of a romance, and I liked it in some ways; she’s a good writer. But in other ways I found it a bit silly.
