Just saw JSF speak about this book, and while I was genuinely worried that my beloved favorite writer had become an environmentalist overnight and given up his genius literary ways, that is not the case. The book actually takes a very interesting perspective- it's a conversation, rather than an argument, using brilliant, heart-wrenching anecdotes from JSF's grandmother's life that many are familiar with from his most famous book Everything Is Illuminated...and I have to say, well done. JSF definitely did his research.
