I love Raskin and was really excited that there was a book that was part biography, part analysis of her work. Both aspects were just so-so, but I expect that the author didn't have many sources to work with. Olson says somewhere in the middle that Raskin committed suicide? Is that true? The NY Times obit says she died of illness. The lit analysis was at times a little far fetched or had a forced undergrad paper feel to it (or maybe just my own undergrad work was like it), but I still learned a few interesting things.
