Greenberg, Vassanji, Pullinger

Since my last post I've read four issues of The Economist.

I also am reading this year's literary prize winners, including Mistress of Nothing, by Kate Pullinger. It was a light read, and incorrect in some particulars, but I enjoyed it despite my nerdiness. I also read the great travelogue A Place Within, by by M.G. Sassanji, an ethnic Indian going to the country of his grandparents for the first time. He captured intimately the feeling of being in a foreign country. I also read the strident Manufacturing Depression, by Gary Greenberg, a sufferer's tour of the fallacies and inadequacies of treatments and models.
