...American readers, German author Bernhard Schlink has a huge task at hand with his new collection, Flights of Love: to successfully follow up on his immensely popular novel The Reader. Besides Schlink’s liquid prose and fluid character development, the two works are practically opposites, but Flights of Love should certainly hold its own against the huge expectations of Schlink’s fans.

But the symptoms worsened, and on Sunday she was hospitalized with severe breathing problems, fluid in her lungs, sputum tinged with blood and a 102[degree]F fever. By last Wednesday, Nguyen had succumbed to a galloping case of inhalational anthrax...
