:
Bookish: WEEKEND BUNCH (3#) -

# Clayton Moore posts a hurried but
interesting grab bag of notes for a
Sept column at Mystery Strumpet.

# And Coleen Mondor reviews two
murder mystery novels by Cara Black
which, she says, are a very atmospheric
rendition of the seedier side of Paris.

# Stephanie Merritt writes an
interview-type feature story about the
Egyptian dentist/author Dr Alaa al Aswany
who wrote The Yacoubian Building.
Recommended. [observer]
