April 06, 2003-10:39 p.m. HOW TO BE ALONE HOW TO BE ALONE is a book of essays from the celebrated author of THE CORRECTIONS. I don�t know exactly what to say about it. The subjects of the essays are wide-ranging; from his father�s Alzheimer�s disease to the fate of the novel in the twenty-first century. They are interesting and well written but I don�t know that I could recommend the book. It could be that I just don�t find cultural criticism that interesting.
