...genre writers know how to express ideas and emotions through events--plot--rather than dialogue or evocative descriptions. Precious little happens in The Lemur other than Glass trading icy quips with his wife. If Benjamin Black is John Banville's guilty secret, he needs to find a much, much guiltier...
...margarine and hide the saltshaker. Oh, and don't waste time with golf. Vigorous, pulse-pounding exercise was the only way to keep your weight within limits--and just as important, your heart properly toned.

Only a small fraction of capital murderers are sentenced to death, and even fewer are actually executed. Thus, those who do die may be a new species of scapegoat: guilty, but no guiltier than those thousands permitted to live. Says American Civil Liberties Union Lawyer Alvin Bronstein: "All evidence shows the current system to be highly arbitrary...
