Louisa May Alcott

I may be wrong about Louisa May Alcott. I’ve always thought the authorial wish-fulfillment at the end of Little Women is a little creepy, as Alcott invents an idealized husband for the idealized self that is her heroine Jo. --Joseph Bottum, Children’s Books, Lost and Found, First Things, December 2008
