The New York Review of Books
Edward ChampionMay 24, 2024

I had to correct two literary friends by text who were momentarily pleased that the insufferable, pompous, and mean-spirited Caleb Crain had dropped dead. Sadly, it was actually Caleb Carr who passed. Which speaks to how widely Crain is loathed, I think, and how underappreciated Carr is. THE ALIENIST and THE ITALIAN SECRETARY are both well worth reading and certainly better than anything than that gasbag Caleb Crain has ever written.
