Gladstone among the Whores

http://www.salon.com/books/review/2008/07/22/james_wood/

James Wood prevails. Read Gladstone in context of the article above.

Every time I read another review of Wood's new book I feel better about myself for having the good sense to make the short trip up to Sewanee about this time last year to hear him in person, and ask him a question about Marshall Frady, with whom he was familiar.

Wood recommends Joe Oneill's Netherland. You should read it too.
