This is tough reading, but the pain and sadness are part of the healing and an understanding in spite of the tragic odds. At once strange and familiar...this novel is beautifully written and WILL leave a mark.

This is a terrifically written collection of linked short stories set at a English-language newpaper in Rome. Some of the stories have O. Henry-like endings. Dazzling.

Shadow Tag tells the brutal, tragic, and compelling story of destructive marital love. Day by day the artist husband and writer wife slowly twist into a vortex where one consumes the other. Erdrich has again taken a complex and very dark theme, writing so that the sharp edges are so much easier to bare, the story lines remarkably vivid and radiant.

Who says Yanks can't write philosophical novels? The pro- and anti- sides are woven into a deft campus comedy, complete with celebrity atheist, his Amazonian ex, a messiah and one of the great academic ogres in recent fiction. Simply brilliant!!
