Back from the abyss

September 25, 2006

No, not really an abyss. I have been noticeably absent, though. And it’s not that I haven’t had anything to say. In fact, in addition to the current novel, I’ve been reading lots of articles that in some way pertain to my day job. They’ve been inspiring. So I have lots to say. I’ll be [...]

All He Ever Wanted

August 13, 2006

Anita Shreve’s deft telling of love lost and never loved. I didn’t know what to expect from this and found myself enthralled with each and every page, ensnared by this melancholy tale of two lives toppled by obsession.

The Confession

May 18, 2006

Like Carl Lewis, this one got me from out of the gate. But unlike Lewis, the promise that “The Confession” reeled me in with vanished down the stretch. This book had it all: successful shrink with a penchant for infidelity, sexy Marin, intriguing (if not fresh) plot, a sleazy prosecutor, an angry wife, and a [...]
