I had to read it for a class and I am so happy I did. What did you think of the ending..about the New Faith's "Queen Bee" and the super powers of Brother Jobe? I agree with the poetry of this book.

Anyway, here is her website: http://sharonastyk.com/ I love it! (and if you have a little time on your hands, try searching, if you can, for an article about the Mommy Wars. Her take on it is really wonderful. If I find it, I will forward it to you).

Can you post a link? The women were not as nuanced as I would like to see, but I didn't find them objectionable. He definitely romanticizes women. I love his blog, too, though it keeps me up at night. Middlemarch--oh, yes, what a splendid book. I considered putting Eliot in my A to Z meme list, but I wanted to have a diverse list and I could've been really heavy on the classics. Robyn–I don’t know that blog. Can you post a link?

I was reading a review on Sharon O's website (Causabon's Book) and she was pretty harsh about it. I love his blog--he doesn't hold back. But hey - where is George Eliot on your list of top twenty books? Middlemarch? Is there a better book ever written? What did you think of his treatment of women characters?

Glad to hear you liked it though. :) It’s always interesting when an author jumps genres, although I guess this fiction isn’t so far off from Kunstler’s non-fiction.
