...music swells, the stage is empty. Then, through a door on the right, a slight blonde woman strides into view. The crowd rises in thunderous applause. From my perch in the Dress Circle of Carnegie Hall, I can see J.K. Rowling...
...Last night's event was much better than the first time I saw Rowling, last summer at Radio City Music Hall for a reading.

It depicts a night in the life of a woman who, after taking her motionless child from his hospital bed, ends up at a motel—except we see it all in rewind-mode. As we go back in time, the tension should mount. Instead, we?...
