An impressive start …

… A Commonplace Blog: Anonymity, terrible anonymity. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I, too, was the fine arts editor of my college newspaper for a time. And before that it's book critic. The first book I ever reviewed was Graham Greene's A Burnt-Out Case. I liked it. The first book I ever reviewed professionally was Dag Hammarskjöld's Markings. I liked that, too, though the prose, I noticed later on, was precious and self-conscious. Hitchcock's book sounds intriguing.
