Helen DeWitt ~ 'Nuff Said

I'm beyond ecstatic! Also, I can't believe I didn't know about this! (How embarrassing!) Helen DeWitt, the absolute genius author of one of my all-time favorite novels, The Last Samurai (http://somanyinterestingthings.blogspot.com/2012/09/just-because-last-samurai.html), has resurfaced. Well, she actually resurfaced three years ago, which is the part that ... anywayyy, the point is, as sometimes happens, I almost didn't look at this story, but for some reason, I did, and now I know about her second novel. And, as I would have hoped and expected, it's completely different and completely wonderful, at least according to this reviewer, who calls it "one of the most singular books I've ever read." Maybe he never read The Last Samurai ... : http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/books/2014/12/slate_whiting_second_novel_list_helen_dewitt_s_lightning_rods.html
