| Introduction | I'm a freelance journalist and book critic. (Anton Ego aside, there are no palatial digs or butlers for most of us critics. My elderly beagle, however, will be very happy to see you should you visit.) For four years, I've been the main fiction reviewer for The Christian Science Monitor, a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper. I also write features and news for the Monitor and other publications. |
