Anemona Hartocollis: The Pushkin of crime reporters
Today's NYT features this dispatch from Anemona Hartocollis:
A man who stabbed his wife to death after his marriage deteriorated into what he described as a decade-long period of psychological warfare was acquitted of murder yesterday...
The five-week-long trial was a psychodrama of Tolstoyan, or perhaps Dostoyevskian, proportions.
Wow, two Russian literature references and one parallelism in just a few sentences. Way to go, Anemona! CompLit grad students throughout the tri-state area swoon.
