STEAL THIS BOOK! (But You'll Have To Write It, First)
In an excellent New Yorker piece on the intriguing case of Amy Bishop --the neurobiologist who killed several colleagues at the Univ of Alabama/Huntsville in 2010, and two decades earlier had killed her brother in an "accidental shooting"-- I don't think I've ever encountered a better extended synopsis of what could be a GREAT novel.
You tell me: is it not all there-- story, plot, character, twists, haunting "resolution" even in the lack thereof?
IMHO, brilliant work by writer Patrick Radden Keefe.
Heck-- I'd steal it, if I thought I could get away with it...

Knock, Knock --BANG!
Heck, I may steal it anyway. Prison would be a small price to pay for this.
So would be having Keefe knock on my door, holding a shotgun. -- EM
