I read Lethal White in a day and it has taken me a week in conversation with friends here to begin to come to terms with the novel’s artistry and meaning. On the one hand, you have to sympathize with writers who have to put up a 500 word review of a very long book under deadline.
We’re looking pretty good here in comparison, as you might expect, with respect to depth and length and seriousness. It’s a pretty disappointing picture, I’m afraid to say, if most recommended the book to readers.
How about a break today to look at what the professional book reviewers had to say? I found seven reviews of Lethal White in major newspapers and online journals to make a decent survey of critical reaction. We’ve been working hard here at in the weeks before and the one week following publication of Lethal White to provide the best in speculation and commentary on the latest book by J.
