Cool Book Review Bro

I am not surprised by the long and stupid correction that just had to be appended to David Bezmozgis’s New York Times review of Rivka Galchen’s American Innovations (he is also “frustrated with and sad for Galchen’s narrators,” who “suffer” from being “liberated from traditional gender roles”; tell me more about how sad the sad liberated girls make you, that is very interesting), but anyway I am sort of laughing my ass off. It is not the case that all of the stories in Galchen’s collection are narrated by one particular type of woman that happens to fascinate the author of this book review. In fact, very few of these stories are! We regret the error, thanks so much for reading. [NYTimes]
