...Anointing Obama I hope you will delve deeper than your glossed-over fairy tale about Barack Obama's upbringing and take up his invitation to address the substantive issues presented in his biography [April 21]. The article neglects to mention that Obama's father had children by four women and that he abandoned each of them. Its odd statement that S.

...huge and unexpected ways, wrenching them out of their jobs and relationships.Maria’s death brings Gabriel and his sister Isabella to St. Petersburg, the seedy seat of their family’s history, plunging readers into the psyche of their sharp, cruel, solipsistic, and utterly absorbing father, and slowly pulling an abandoned son—the embittered, talented, consummately Russian Arkady—into the familial constellation. Docx has a stunning talent for communicating the essence of a person, group, or place in a single brushstroke that’s incisive, sometimes strange, and always evocative...
