I only have limited time to read at the moment, but the few interviews I&#8217;ve read thus far are outstanding in their ability to reveal something about how each writer approaches his or her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m beyond pleased to see that Alexander McCall Smith has another instalment in the lovely &#8220;44 Scotland Street&#8221; series coming out. McCall Smith had previously implied that he would be shelving &#8220;44&#8243; to work on other things, most notably a new series set in Pimlico that kicked off with &#8220;Corduroy Mansions.&#8221; If you aren&#8217;t familiar [...]]]></description>

We have already seen: one such genius (the stranger with the little black moustache), arising as an image, continued as a being there and then in the yellowish expanses of the Neva, claiming it was from them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read Lorrie Moore’s latest novel, “A Gate at the Stairs,” a couple of months ago and came away less than impressed. This was not expected.
