The Book, The People, The People of the Book, The People In the Book, The Book About People, The Book About Other People, The Other Book About People.
Am I the only one who has been confused for weeks (weeks!) about these two books, thinking, strangely, they were one in the same? I seriously could not sort out how Zadie Smith had hooked up with Geraldine Brooks for what some were calling an intense re-retelling of the Haggadah and what others were calling a hilarious read on character.
Consider me sorted. (But, really, how did this happen that two books with such bizarrely similar titles were published on nearly the same day this month?)
