A bunch of things from the Sunday NYT Book Review section

Review of novel Towelhead; essay on air travel; review of novel The Librarian; review, by Judith Shulevitz, of a new translation of the Torah; review of "The Selected Letters of Tennessee Williams," where I had bracketed this passage: "If the sorrow and confusion and longing in a man's heart is eloquently expressed through art, I think it gives comfort and even exaltation to his audience, by making them feel less lonely."
