Thanks to all for a great discussion on Ann Patchett's RUN. Most liked, some thought it too contrived. Kenya was a great character, the little boys not filled out enough & the dual Tennessee conversation a bit much. Question: can any writer ever accurately write about a group they are not a member of?
