Evoking the teasing style of Italian authors such as Italo Calvino or Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, Martel leads his reader on a chase through a house of mirrors. “Beatrice and Virgil” is slyly autobiographical and self-referential.

...despite his years in the national spotlight, Romney remains unexpectedly unfamiliar to a large number of Americans. On a recent cross-country trip, as I read Romney's new best seller, No Apology, which features a close-up photo of the author on the front cover, a passing flight attendant exclaimed, "No apology? Not even for his wife?" If Romney can so easily be confused with disgraced politician John Edwards, he'll have to work harder to create a more distinct identity if he hopes to win the White House...
