Moorishgirl is the private preserve of one Laila Lalami, who integrates guest reviews and recommendations into her own book-related musings. This feisty, Portland-based blogger has leveraged her virtual soapbox into a debut short-story collection, but her round-up of all things literary remains as keenly selected as ever. -Toby Warner
Dear Ms.Lalami,
I just heard you on NPR radio about your reading preferences and if it's not an imposition I would like to know:
1. Would you attempt to read first time author's just published a 660 page novel "Sins and Sorrow"?
2. Would you be interested reading about a diametrically diferrent treatment of the Holocaust of WW II and its legacy, woven into crime/fiction that reflects upon contemporary social,cultural and political significance?
Respectfully
Jerry Rawicki
