Glad you like it!

If you click on his name when you have the articles up, you will see a variety of other articles he has written.

This is the same person who wrote "Paris to the Moon" about living in Paris during the first five years of his little boy's life.

"Paris to the Moon" was Adam Gopnik, wasn't it? The two are brothers, I think.

I haven't read the reviews above, but I read the review of the Anne Truitt retrospective on my bus ride to DC yesterday.

It was a really odd one, especially after reading this review:

One thinks she was happy; the other thinks she was sad. I think the arts critics in Washington should talk to each other. It was really quite amusing.

I recommend the Truitt retrospective to those who can make it before it closes tomorrow.
