*** ‘Before, During, After’ By Richard Bausch ***
<http://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/2014/08/12/book-review-before-during-after-richard-bausch/UBm3zJrbvbVss0SlJfG5sK/story.html>

These can be interesting strategies, but Richard Bausch prefers the time-honored techniques of scrupulous observation and straightforward storytelling — which is not say that his work is simple.

Pete Wells, New York Times

> Of all the surprises that made my meal at Sweets Raku so entertaining, perhaps the most interesting was its location: a shopping plaza about two miles from the Las Vegas Strip, in the sprawling and still-growing Chinatown area. It is one of many excellent, intimate restaurants that have sprung up in the last two or three years far from the leviathan casinos where celebrated chefs have made the city a global dining destination.
