It is absolutely brilliant. It was the page excerpted in this interview that really did it for me. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/cartoonlounge/2009/12/cartoon-off-nicki-greenberg.html

I was going to say that I didn’t consider this post a review per se, but it’s interesting that this post turned out more ‘review-like’ than I thought it would — partly because I was probably straining not to sound too chummy or biased or whatever. Not that I think a formal reviewing manner would preclude the writer’s being biased, but I think I avoided a more casual tone when writing about the book. This is odd, because when I have read and approved of other people’s writing about books by people they know, it’s been really of the ‘Hoorah, for my friend hath written a book’, jolly, friendly type of writing. But at the same time, I think I wanted to read it closely and do it justice.

I am simply athirst for a Maile Meloy book. Soon I will fit it in.

Did not catch that interview with MT. I wonder if it is online.

Nope. I’m not sure I’m up to the physical strain of it.
