Disappointing …

… 'Chicago: A Novel' Book Review | National Review. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I can think of only two major authors, Anton Chekhov and Thornton Wilder, who have been fully ambidextrous, producing plays and prose fiction of like quality (unless you count Samuel Beckett, whose novels are admired but not read).

I would add Somerset Maugham, who I think is a major author, though many may not agree.
