		<description><![CDATA[From &#8216;NB&#8217;, in tomorrow&#8217;s TLS: Readers who depend on Amazon for reviews of new books might have stumbled on one in response to Molotov&#8217;s Magic Lantern by Rachel Polonsky. The Amazon reviewer did not like it at all&#8230; The reviewer&#8217;s &#8220;nickname&#8221; is given as &#8220;Historian&#8221; and also as &#8220;orlando-birkbeck&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[Reviewers in the UK seem to have quite liked Invisible, Paul Auster&#8216;s latest novel, and I was starting to wonder if it might be worth checking out – I haven’t read a book of his since The Book of Illusions (2002) – when James Wood came along and clobbered it in the New Yorker. I can&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this week&#8217;s New Yorker, Jill Lepore reviews a new book on management consultancy by Matthew Stewart, The Management Myth: Why the Experts Keep Getting It Wrong. Both the book and the piece take a dim view of what management consultancy achieves: offices become more &#8216;efficient&#8217;, but life doesn&#8217;t become any better for those who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;What makes Melville Melville is digression, texture, and weirdness,&#8217; says Damion Searls. No, said Orion Books in 2007, all that extraneous business just gets in the way of the story arc. Without all that whale stuff, you could make a readable book.
