We lay no claim...

Today's Globe F&A essay "Degrees of Separation" is reaching towards the ideas so deftly explored by Sharon Butala in her brilliant new book The Girl from Saskatoon (read my review here). Writer Bob Levin writes, "This isn't our tragedy, of course - it's her family's, her friends'. We lay no claim to it..." But then, what do we do with these connections?

The Girl in Saskatoon is currently #7 on the Globe & Mail Bestseller list for non-fiction.
