Chabon on BE

[John Bailey]

Very nice piece (with spoilers as to the last line, which is very bold!)

The kids are central to BE and he gets that it's not really just about
some idea of innocence or 'family is all' as some reviewers have
lamely suggested is his cop-out.

Pay attention to the scene when the kids get on a plane with Horst and
only one looks back at Maxine. Foreshadowing.
