Literary reviews by Tim Love. Warning: Rather than reviews, these are often notes in preparation for reviews that were never finished, or pleas for help with understanding pieces. See Litref Reviews - a rationale for details.

"Family Connections" by Chrissie Gittins (Salt, 2007)
Lots of details, but not literary enough for my taste, both at the language
and structure levels. There are some "talking heads" pieces. Few flash-backs,
and little fore-shadowing, or layering. I didn't see the Jeffrey twist
coming!
