But what the book mostly leaves behind is a rare and pleasant sense of having been taken down the garden path by a master. Timothy Foote "I was tracked for science in high school," says A.G. Mojtabai (sounds like much to buyee), a 36-year-old New York City librarian, "and in some ways I've had no literary education at all." Her maiden name was Ann Grace Alpher. Eventually...
