Hi! I haven't read this book yet though I'm teaching it at the end of this coming semester. (That's how I pick some books for classes -- I choose books I want to read!) And yes, the author is totally rad. I met her once when she gave a talk at my grad school. I even got to have dinner with her and we talked about Chang and Eng Bunker, the Siamese Twins.
