Sorry if I'm dwelling on this title, but Sittenfeld's Prep is really a great piece of literature, even if it isn't high-minded. Her character development and realistic plotlines make for gripping stuff... even if she isn't John Grisham. Her books are page-turners in other ways, and I admire that.
Here's a link to an interview with her.
And it appears she drew the short or long straw, depending on how Kakutani feels about it. The official review is here - the one I posted yesterday was by Joyce Carol Oates and was more reflective/descriptive. I haven't read it yet, but I'm praying for Sittenfeld's soul as Kakutani can be ruthless.
