Harsh book review? Yikes!
On David Rieff's book about his mother's death:
What might have been an affecting narrative of a highly intelligent woman's decline and death is buried beneath layers of noisy subjective assertion.Clearly, Rieff wants to be a great writer, not just a peddler of reportage. Signs of this anxiety are everywhere.
