- The New York Times Book Review ran a scathing review of Canadian writer Margaret Atwood’s new book over the weekend. Canadians are taking it personally. “[The Times Book Review is] fairly erratic and tends to be very much tied into the New York publishing scene. There’s sort of a decision that somebody’s going to be praised and important at one point and a decision that somebody’s going to be taken down a peg at another. Generally, they don’t exert pressure on their reviewers, but they may have said, ‘Great it’s time somebody did this.’ It’s hard to know exactly what the politics are.” – National Post (Canada)
