...Stripping away the deceptive dew of formulate novel writing--the exotic foreign city, the glamourous actress, the handsome young hero-- and Foreign Affairs seems like anything but an easy gamble Lurie spares as none of the foibles and failing of the Professors of Love, but makes us love them anyway. She succeeds not by resting on the certain appeal of the glamorous life, but, like her academic friends, in spite of glamour...
