Review
" One of the most powerful and innovative writers in English today." -- ("The Times Literary Supplement") Praise for Janette Turner Hospital and "Due Preparations for the Plague": " Move over Twain, DeLillo and Franzen. Janette Turner Hospital remakes the American social novel. Thrilling, maddening, deeply moral . . . a near flawless novel, and one so timely it is breathtaking." -- "The Globe and Mail" " Hospital masterfully raises the big questions in a compelling . . . mesmerizing manner, drawing in the reader to a riveting degree." -- "San Diego Tribune"
