The press about the book may just be avoiding the more controversial aspects.Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-43142562767728434492009-09-28T22:42:21.551-04:002009-09-28T22:42:21.551-04:00I just scored a review copy of this book, it's...I just scored a review copy of this book, it's only going to be released in Australia in December.<br /><br />So far it's very interesting, but a completely new world as Australia's Jewish community isn't as prominent here as it is in the States (I only have one Jewish friend, and most people I know don't know anyone of Jewish faith)<br /><br />But I guess the point you make is that Burr has this anti-religious sentiment throughout, which could apply to all religions, especially the orthodox ones. <br /><br />But from the looks of it, it's being marketed as a book about reading and love of literature. Multilayered? Or simply avoiding the faith discourse?Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653787876397264276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-39130948975607257562009-08-30T19:01:18.818-04:002009-08-30T19:01:18.818-04:00Excellent review.

I imagine this dilimma would be interesting to a lot of people.<br /><br />And on a lighter note, it sounds like Anne has problems to which bloggers can relate: "so many literary salons that she has to hire a personal assistant" - change that to "so many blogs in our Google Readers" and there you have a solution to the problem so many of us have! We all should have "personal assistants!!!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
