A review by George J. Leonard
1.
Since a book review should, above all, quickly tell the reader if a book is worth buying or reading, and what kind of book it is, I’ll start by saying that in manner, style and subject Eleanor Antin’s novel Conversations with Stalin is best appreciated by comparing it to Philip Roth’s I Married a Communist; and if you liked the Roth book, you’ll like the Antin.
