A Financial Times writer says that Salman Rushdie's novel is good, so good in fact, that he may have to try it with curry.
Quoted: For Rushdie, as for the artists he writes about, the pen is a magician’s wand. There is more magic than realism in this latest novel. But it is, I think, one of his best. If The Enchantress of Florence doesn’t win this year’s Man Booker I’ll curry my proof copy and eat it.

Parents. You need to start getting excited that your child even WANTS to read Pulitzer Prize winning novelists. It's obviously an indication of sophistication that you seem to lack.
Quoted: Kaleb Tierce, 25, is being investigated for allegedly distributing harmful material to a minor after the student selected Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Cormac McCarthy's "Child of God" off the list and read it.

Steve Wasserman takes a look at the state of newspaper book reviews for the "Columbia Journalism Review" and finds that they're broken.
Quoted: That book coverage is disappearing is not news. What is news is the current pace of the erosion in coverage, as well as the fear that an unbearable cultural threshold has been crossed: whether the book beat should exist at all is now, apparently, a legitimate question. Jobs, book sections, and pages are vanishing at a rate rivaled only by the degree to which entire species are being rendered extinct in the Amazonian rain forest.
