...high, especially right under the crossbar. Just ask Wayne Turner, who lifted one over a flopping O'Connor in 1980 for the biggest goal in Husky history. Or ask Harvard's Dave Burke, whose insurance goal in the waning minutes of the '81 final made an unforgettable clang as it caromed off the bar and into the net.

If the clang of metaphorical boiler plate rang in the reader's ear, so did the voice of new talent. Trust remains Ozick's only published novel. Her reputation rests mainly on collections of short fiction: The Pagan Rabbi and Other Stories and Bloodshed and Three Novellas.

...succeeds in putting enough spin on them to give the dialogue bite. His deadpan is convincing.
