ok, so i am marching through my new collection of john grisham novels- each seem to be about 1 or more brilliant lawyers- usually one. i am now curious which of the many protaganist brilliant lawyers that grisham actually identifies with, or really resembles under the veneer of fiction. i just read 'the partner' which was somewhat disappointing aside from the fact that the female lawyer had the last laugh. i suppose that even jane austin had a bad day writing about her millieu- i didn't like northanger abbey, for example........but then grisham is no jane austin........
