A review of Lady Director by Joyce Chopra
Only, how to break into the male-dominated world of film? Not that that was her explicit goal when she graduated, but one thing she did not want to do? "There weren't many jobs available for a young woman of twenty-one with a degree in comparative literature," she writes, but she didn't want to become a secretary. If she did that, "I would irrevocably land on the slippery slope to nowhere."
A review of The 99 Boyfriends of Micah Summers by Adam Sass
The 99 Boyfriends of Micah Summers is not exactly a story begging you to unravel it (the happily ever after is apparent early on) but it does make one thing clear – Adam Sass is just as capable a builder of romance as he is of mystery. And Micah Summers' story benefits from Sass's adept management of both genres.
A review of Ecliptical By Hazel Smith
Ecliptical is a masterful book, full of smart details that will challenge and stretch the most dedicated of readers, but also dark, playful, often funny and always fun to read. The book is political and engaged with current affairs and events and very serious in the way it confronts violence, loss, inequities, and a wide array of impending ends, but it never takes itself too seriously.
