Finished Tracy Kidder's Strength in What Remains late last week. It must have originated as an offshoot of Mountains Beyond Mountains, because he met the protagonist of the book through Partners in Health. At any rate, it is a treat to read, a harrowing but uplifting story told extremely well. Tracy Kidder is a pretty gifted journalist. But it's not deep or revealing, really. There are none of the "holy shit I never thought about it that way before" moments that McPhee manages to hit you with every three pages.
