Heather Has A Kindred Spirit

Kate at Small Dead Animals is a fan of Mark Helprin's novels. As some of you know, my beautiful wife is a great fan of Helprin, and A Soldier of the Great War is her favorite book.

Not to make you feel slighted, gentle reader, but you know Heather really likes you if she's given you a copy of that book for some holiday. What, you got a copy of Virginia Postrel's The Substance of Style? Sorry, that's the consolation prize in the contest of Heather's friendship.
