Foer

[Tore Rye Andersen]

Thanks for the link - hadn't read that one, but I wholeheartedly agree with 
Harry Siegel's assessment (OK: condemnation) of the Wunderkind JSF. Back 
here in Denmark, EL&IC was almost universally lauded when it came out. I 
wrote a long and scalding review of the novel, but I'm afraid it sunk 
without a trace into the sea of acceptance which met Foer's poor excuse for 
a novel (my review certainly hasn't been quoted on the back of the 
paperback, let me tell you...).
