The book hops, often with little warning, from topic to topic and from literary form to literary form. But while its busy structure may be somewhat disconcerting, the clarity of each of Oliver's pieces and the meaning of her argument make up for its abrupt transitions...

Even when the two bikers are pressing rolled-up francs into their friends' hands, for all the implicit paternalistic reek there's not a note of honest care absent...
