Lara's newest YA novel, The Sweet Life of Stella Madison , made me smile, laugh, and cook macaroni and cheese. Seriously. While I was revamping her website at zeisgeist.com and while she...

The Garden of Last Days, By Andre Dubus III
The Independent (Free subscription) | 01/25/2009

Effectively, there are two novels battling it out within these 500-plus pages, one about the state of the American underclass, the other about the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and Dubus never reconciles these threads.
