George Packer's review of Salman Rushdie's 'Knife' is exceptionally good. You can tell that Packer started his career as a novelist and still has one in him: theatlantic.com/books/archive/…

To Gal Beckerman, the strange and beautiful book 'The Children's Bach' is a striking picture of how ravaged a life can be when unmoored from any responsibility, and of how necessary it is to take care of others in order to feel whole. theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…
