...cover story using up all that space? In this day and age of unlimited Internet access and an explosion in the number of cable- and satellite-TV channels available, I would expect you to take the lead with in-depth, responsible reporting of important news events that transcend the bubbly charm of Tinseltown.

Time capsules are a literal anachronism. Invoking a kind of space-age enthusiasm, these items, which we have sent out into the world to transcend time, paradoxically end up being more retro than anything we could have intentionally conceived.

...Other successful pieces similarly re-mangle distorted representations of sex as a way of recovering dignity or power.

...question that will determine this novel's fate (in the popular mind, anyway) is whether it will transcend these national bounds, or whether it will end up in the dustbin of "regional literature." I say that the dustbin is a pretty sure bet for this one. I more liked the novel than disliked it, but its author will survive in my mind mostly as a rising talent, not as a full-fledged master. For all Moth Smoke's insights, it smells of trendiness, and I suspect that it will not survive past its distinct historical setting--a setting made possible...
