My Take Oh my god, what a pretentious twit! Albeit one with a lovely gift for words, so flowery in his discourse on the beauty of book layouts. I couldn’t decide if I was reading a critique on book construction or wine. Harmony is determined by relationships or proportions. Proportions are hidden everywhere: in the capaciousness of the margins, in the reciprocal relationships to each other of all four margins on the page of a book, in the relationship between leading of the type area and dimensions of the margins, the placement of the page number relative to the…and on and on.

Clever and cute especially with Michael’s complete openness with Jeannie and his pack. Too funny. Alice Gaines’ “The Education of […]

Book Review: Gregory Maguire’s Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
An astonishingly rich re-creation of the land of Oz, this book retells the story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, who wasn’t so wicked after all. Taking readers past the yellow brick road and into a phantasmagoric world rich with imagination and allegory, Gregory Maguire just might change the reputation of one of the most sinister characters in literature.
