Great piece! Now I'll have to read this back. A man of many talents for sure.

It's a great novel! Kingsolver rewrites Charles Dickens's David Copperfield, but makes it work perfectly well on its own. To add to your smart analysis, Kingsolver also shows how the pursuit of success in sports corrupts almost all who get caught up in it.

Many thanks for this one, Mr. Abbott. Pointing out connections between the toy universe and the real world is a strong suit of this publication.
