Yes. There's a great one in Rhetoric Society Quarterly comparing a letter from Paul to a speech by George W Bush about the war on terror. Very interesting. Not sure of the title or author, though

Sorry the council has spoken. If it makes you feel better Selma Lagerlof doesn't count either but that might be because Council Member Bandalore the Wizened doesn't like children's fiction.

Jansson's The Summer Book is v. popular, at least in the uk (going by copies we got in my oxfam) and her newly translated adult novel (or were they stories?) got shortlisted for btba or smth. I'd abstain from voting at least until i read summer book.
