NY Times Sunday Book Review

Laila Lalami, whose literary/political blog I’ve followed nearly since it’s formation, and who I’ve referred to numerous times since the formation of my own, has had her debut novel, Secret Son, reviewed in The New York Times. I am very glad for this, as I’ve grown to intensely appreciate Laila’s effort to bring consciousness to the States. As a student of English Literature myself, and aspiring writer, I know this kind of coverage is vital to her exposure among wider audiences. I wish her the best and look forward to meeting her again, perhaps in two or three years (she claims to be a very slow, meticulous writer) after the publication of another great book.
