crescent

I picked up one of the last copies of Crescent left on the shelf at my local bookstore on Friday. I thought the book wasn’t due out till April, but I guess they brought it in a few days early and it seemed to be doing well.

I haven’t started reading it yet, but here is a review from Abu-Jaber’s hometown paper, The Oregonian, and another one, from the Christian Science Monitor.
