LesOpinion: This perfectly decent novel, sandwiched as it is between M.C. Beaton's computer-generated genre schlock and conservative pundit Glenn Beck's surreal attempts at polemical fiction, was like that one little gasp of air you get just before you are sucked back under the surface of the water--it was just enough to keep me going on the Quest.
Another You is the stream of consciousness tale of a professor caught up in his wife's affair, a colleague's turmoil, and his stepmother's death. The author weaves in a mysterious correspondence that leads to an appropriately unsatisfying ending for everyone (except the reader, of course, who happily gets to know it all while the characters flounder).
How can there be only one Ann Beattie on the shelf but four Glenn Beck books? This proves that the injustices in the world are small enough to haunt even the shelves of a New England village library.
