Publication: Sun-Times
Cover: Somewhat nonsensical but not entirely aesthetically unappealing art attached to Publisher John Cruickshank’s review of Ian McEwan’s On Chesil Beach. I’m generally uninterested in reviews and articles by the bosses, whose only qualification for writing them is usually that they are the bosess. Jeff Johnson’s review of Crystal Zevon’s I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon also starts on the section front.
