Proposing Emily Hall as Book Babe 2.0

by Ron Hogan

Flitting about the book reviews at The Stranger, I've seen Hall take sides with Dubravka Ugresic, chip at Virginia Postrel, touch briefly upon Curtis White, and (for those who prefer fiction) allow herself to be swept up by Peter Carey. I like what I see. Her reviews don't necessarily answer all the hard questions they raise, but at least she confronts them head on. If Poynter takes seriously my suggestion to replace just one Book Babe, they'd do well to consider bringing Hall in to fill the gap.
