Inside Job--Connie Willis

The two things I love most about Connie Willis's writing is the humor and the versatility. Well, that and the woman is either very good to her family librarian or just an encyclopedia. Her latest is this novella, clocking in at 99 pages of tight romance, satire and metaphysics. Rob runs a skeptics tabloid out of LA. His assistant is the famous actress Kildy, who chucked film to be his Girl Friday. She stumbles onto a psychic, whose usual channeling schtick has been interrupted by...H.L. Mencken! Is it for real, or are Rob and Kildy being hoaxed? Tons of Mencken quotes and detail in this frothy romp, a cute love story cum social satire. Totally recommended.
