|  Allende, Keneally, Sontag, & More | Barbara’s Fiction Picks While Helen Dunmore's Birdcage Walk and Janet Fitch's The Revolution of Marina M. step back in time, Isabel Allende's In the Midst of Winter and Thomas Keneally's Crimes of the Father reference the past to clarify present and pressing problems. A posthumous story collection reminds us that Susan Sontag wasn't just smart about literary fiction but a smart fiction writer. |
