<i>Fourteen brilliant new reviews from</i> <i>the author of </i>A Love of Reading<i>. Passionate, thought provoking, and witty.<br><br>A Love of Reading, the Second Collection</i> contains 14 new reviews of modern classics from a discriminating, highly entertaining, and prodigiously well-read guide.<br><br>In a stimulating selection, ranging from Margaret AtwoodâEuros <i>Alias Grace</i> to Zadie SmithâEuros <i>White Teeth</i>, and from Charles FrazierâEuros <i>Cold Mountain</i> to Sheri HolmanâEuros <i>The Dress Lodger</i>, popular literary critic Robert Adams skilfully interweaves a nimble and enlightening discussion of plot, theme, and characterization with fascinating historical, biographical, and literary context. Adams is repeatedly drawn to the spectacle of less-than-perfect humans making their way in a hostile world, and as a result his reviews are a hugely satisfying mix of rich pathos and abundant humour. In the words of the <i>Calgary Herald</i>, they are âEuro²a bibliophileâEuros dream."<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
