    Well-written and at times interesting. The modern day sections are probably more interesting if only because there seem to be more layers and a larger intention at work there. Not sure if the early 19C section is supposed to be a bit heavy-handed in its execution, though it frequently comes off as such. Some interesting insights into the meaning of fiction and fiction-making. Less so in terms of the treatment of American culture--must all foreign writers see America as being pure surface? As a native, I certainly don't see it that way . . .
