Today's Inquirer reviews ...

... feature ...

David Stearns, splendid as always, looking at a couple of biographies of Orson Welles, including volume 2 of Simon Callow's: Pinning down the slippery Citizen Welles.

Katie Haegele is thrilled with Elaine Terranova's latest poetry collection: 'Not To' collection reveals poet playing with permutations.

Chuck Leddy is impressed with Gabor Boritt's The Gettsburg Gospel:
Gettysburg Address as 'civic gospel'.

Kate Atkinson may have won Susan Balée over to crime fiction: Road-rage attack reverberates in assortment of Scots' lives.

Sarah Weinman makes come characteristically canny observations about Fred Vargas's latest: Clever crime fiction with French twist.

Speaking of characteristica, Carlin Romano takes a provocative look at Taner Akcam's A Shameful Act: Armenia genocide in brave detail.

Sandy Bauers listens as 'Peter Pan' flies again and again in two narrators' versions.

It's not a book review, but since I'm one of those who thinks that Picasso is among the most over-rated artists of all time (I'll take a Braque over a Picasso any day), I thought I'd also link to art critic Ed Sozanski's column as well: Spanish painting through centuries.

During the week, these ran:

Amy Rosenberg sang the praises of Kim McLarin's Jump at the Sun: Struggling to find her fit in the annals of motherhood.

And Kristin Granero was moved by Nordie's at Noon: Book Review Lessons in living with cancer when you're 'too young'.
