Books, Inq. — The Epilogue

Sunday, August 28, 2011

Today's Inquirer reviews ...

... Dugard's poignant memoir of 18 lost years.

... Pelecanos has returned to form with a new, ex-Marine gumshoe.

... 'Haiti After the Earthquake': Assessing the damages of a disaster.

... Dirty, dirty stuff, and ill-fitting tenderness.

... Stories of love and loss demand a second reading.
