		<description><![CDATA[Another Near-Miss From Yarn-Spinner Lerstner Review by Alex Ricciardi Charlie Lerstner has a fascinating problem: He&#8217;s able to write two-thirds of a great book. His first novel, Zero Miles As The Crow Flies, was the story of a man&#8217;s spiritual awakening. A page-turner, it was a surprisingly solid effort from a previously unpublished author—that is, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=literation.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2078928&amp;post=11&amp;subd=literation&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Review by Robyn Curtis Deborah Hoskensin&#8217;s newest book, The Politics of the Back Porch, begins with a whimper and ends with a cry for help. Although her two previous works, The Hellride of the Archangel and A Farmer&#8217;s Dream, were both stunning displays of literary agility and emotional whirlwinds, her newest attempt falls flat, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=literation.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2078928&amp;post=9&amp;subd=literation&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Bold Vision From Sweden&#8217;s Master Storyteller Review by Alex Ricciardi “The stoic dead man with the mustache stood alone at the edge of the precipice.” So begins Borgström&#8217;s controversial novel about Adolf Hitler&#8217;s journey through the afterlife—and to eventual redemption. Although the subject matter seems ridiculous and borderline offensive, Borgström has managed to turn [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=literation.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2078928&amp;post=8&amp;subd=literation&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hopperfield&#8217;s Masterpiece Review by Luke Magill To be honest, I was somewhat skeptical when I picked up a book by the title Requiem for God, but a long Thanksgiving weekend in Oregon saw little else to do. Besides, I was interested. What type of melodrama resides within a story of this title?
