Reading Wouk
On my to-read list: Herman Wouk’s new novel, The Lawgiver. Wouk is 97 years old and he’s written a book that’s received starred reviews. And here’s what the Washington Post’s reviewer concluded: “[I]n some essential way, this book about a movie about a book is also about the very act of writing books. Wouk reminds us of the eternal value of storytelling while he shows 30- and 50- and 80-year-old whippersnappers how it’s done.”
