The kind of question one can never answer

February 17, 2011February 17, 2011 ~ The Longest Chapter ~ 4 Comments

Snooping through the bookshelves of The Little Bookshop in Westerville, Ohio, I came across a novel published in 1949 with interesting copy on the back of the dust jacket. Not the usual plot summary or praises of the book one would expect, rather a commentary about reading, written by the book editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer. A curiosity worth sharing.

The Longest Chapter is written by book critic Kassie Rose. Her reviews and commentary can be heard on WOSU 89.7 FM, an NPR member station broadcasting throughout Central Ohio.
