Letters revealing a life
Review from The Correspondent →
Well-written, well-structured. For me Sybil starts off quite an unsympathetic character and the book even felt quite bland, but as the narrative progresses, the characters become more defined and the letters take on a shape.

The author lays out and describes the nature, techniques, consequences of the division of what would today be called “the elites”. However, it does so in what is..
Shoulda been a podcast
Review from Mission Iran →
The actual story isn’t all that long. 2.5 hours ish. The reading of lists in the appendix is very weird for an audio format. Also, while the appendixes have original interviews, there are many many parts that are verbatim repeats of what’s in the main text. The author should have reworded the text so that..
