NT Times Review of Books

Can you really call a book in which someone's "father recounts his 3-year-old son's encounter with Jesus and the angels during an emergency appendectomy" nonfiction? To say nothing, except this non-cryptic allusion, of a book in which a "geopolitical forecaster who wrote "The Next Hundred Years" details the enormous transition he expects over the coming 10" or "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother." On my count 7 of the 15 on the "combined" list fall in either the gray area of memoir or the fairly obvious fiction of, you know, meeting Jesus and "the" angels, which sounds like a fairly crappy Christian rock band.
