That said, today I asked ChatGPT to write an essay comparing Philip Roth’s “American Pastoral” and Jane Smiley’s “Some Luck,” and the result was scarily passable for a high school paper.

Once in a while a novel will blow you away. Just finished Barabara Kingsolver’s “Demon Copperhead,” a brilliant re-imagination of Dickens’ “David Copperfield,” set in contemporary Appalachia. Brilliant, witty, politically trenchant. Highly recommend.
