Pa ul Sl ovak on T he S to ne Lo ve s t h e W orl d b y B ri a n H a l l Colum McCann has called Brian Hall “one of the quieter geniuses in American fiction,” and after some time away from the writing world, he’s letting that genius flower again. Brian wanted to be a scientist, like his parents and like some of the characters in his new novel, but I am awfully glad he decided to become an author! He is also a very accomplished classical pianist, which explains why he writes so well about music in this indelible portrait of a very American family. Share your thoughts with Paul pslovak@prh.com
