The Omnipotent Critic
I don’t see the point in starting a review with a sentence like this one written by Kyle Minor for Salon:
Eula Biss’ “Notes From No Man’s Land” is the most accomplished book of essays anyone has written or published so far in the 21st century.
Yes, I get it, you really like the book, and you want to find some way of communicating your enthusiasm. That’s fine. But “written or published”? Isn’t that taking things a little too far? So somehow you’re not only able to account for every book of essays that has been published in the last 13 years but also every unpublished manuscript sitting out there?
Again, I get that there’s a lot of enthusiasm for this book, and Minor actually does a good job of making the book sound compelling in the rest of the review, but there are much more defensible ways of saying this.

Recommended Books DeLillo's major work before White Noise is probably his most underrated novel. Its all right here--the politics of paranoia, terrorism, the unnamable--set in an evocative, timeless Greece.
The most bizarre Abe novel I've yet read, which is indeed saying something. About a subclass of Japanese men who go around wearing boxes from the waist up (and then use them as domiciles in the evening), the book is also an experiment in perspective shifts, a highly unstable, metafictional first-person narrative, and an exploration of voyeurism, consumerism, and aberrant sexuality.
Charting the path to three gunshots--the one that killed filmmaker Theo Van Gogh, the one that disabled his Islamic extremist assassin, Mohammed Bouyeri, and the one that led to Vincent Van Gogh’s one hundred years earlier--Olsen tells three separate stories that resonate with one another on numerous levels: the logic of extremism, the role of the dissident in Dutch society, the limits of tolerance, the purpose of the artist, the feeling of the most important five minutes of your life. Read my interview with the author.
Creatively structured, well-executed epic novel of rural South Africa from 1950 - 2000. Takes on a lot and lives up to it magnificently. Highly recommended.
A book that's an interview about the book you're supposedly holding in your hands. Creative, potent, and full of life. Just what metafiction should be. Read my post on it.

Dontcha know every unpublished manuscript is a worthless piece of crap? Until it gets published, that is; afterwards then it’s great.
