Richard Dawkins | RichardDawkins.net | 22 September 2010
Powerful writing and just as hostile as you'd expect from Britain's best

Megan Mayhew Bergman | Ploughshares | 22 September 2010
Engaging plea to writers. Southern US regional identity less marked than it

Elif Batuman | NYT | 22 September 2010
Franz Kafka gave his manuscripts to Max Brod for burning. Instead, Brod

Leander Schaerlaeckens | ESPN | 21 September 2010

Mark Clayton | CS Monitor | 21 September 2010

New Bob Woodward book tackles Obama's Afghanistan strategy. Recounts
