Reactions and Reviews

This is the autumn of Anna's triumph. Another wonderful story from her; this one the longest and best yet: Strains May Float. Anna's taken one of my least favorite 3rd season episodes (Girl Next Door), added a unlikely and unpopular take on Blair and Jim's relationship, and made something that should have been tawdry and cheap somehow mysterious and wonderful. These guys aren't perfect by a long shot, but the story is damn close.[1]

I'm fascinated by this story. It has everything that Anna is known for: gorgeous writing and thorough characterizations, fresh insights and relationships that reference deep, archetypal connections as well as being very "real." In addition, we get a surprisingly compassionate look at human failings and needs.[2]
