Pets by Bragi Olafsson

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 11:33:24 -0400

emccullough's review: "Is it me, or is it Olafsson, or was something lost in translation? Perhaps there's a layer of complexity to The Pets that I'm missing, but this book felt thin, unsubstantive -- enough here for a great short story, but not nearly enough for for a really good book. Sorry I couldn't crack the code on this one. Just as I really got invested in Emil and his strange friends, the story just...ended."
Open Letter Books; Univ of Nebraska Press (2008), Hardcover, 157 pages

Weekends at Bellevue by Julie Holland

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 12:09:57 -0400

emccullough's review: "A sometimes terrifying, sometimes heartbreakingly sad look into the little known world of acute psychiatric illness. Dr. Julie Holland's smart-ass "tom-boy" exterior is her defense against dissolving into a puddle of compassion as she's faced with the relentless problems of her patients and co-workers. In addition to providing a unique perspective on Bellevue, this memoir raises important questions about our care of the seriously mentally ill -- an issue little touched on in the turmoil over health care reform in general."
