Dear Readers,
Let me delight you with book review haiku for books I read in the month of June. I accept all blame for any syllabic miscounts. And by "book review," I really mean "book report."
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (John Le Carre)
Classic spy fiction
Driven by logic and twists
Berlin is so cold
Gilead (Marilynne Robinson)
Biblical old man
Writes long letter to young son
Full of pithy prose
The Gravedigger's Daughter (Joyce Carol Oates)
Woman runs from past
In epic family saga
Set in New York State
Mister Pip (Lloyd Jones)
White man teaches girl
To love Great Expectations
Even during war
The Secret History (Donna Tartt)
Murder and mayhem
At a New England college
What does "evil" mean?
