That not enough of a hook? Check out the Post online for Mark Medley on achronological writing, the irresolution of despair, dignified poverty, and--erm--AK's introduction of oral surgery to reality TV. 


And oh yes. You may hear just a tich more about "one of the season's best reads," which was also called "quirky, raucous, and utterly unconventional" in the June issue of Reader's Digest.
