Wendy Shalit essay
Mirvis was the subject of a 2005 essay by Wendy Shalit entitled "The Observant Reader"[ 8] in The New York Times Book Review which accused Mirvis, an Orthodox Jew , of writing ostensibly "'insider' fiction (that) actually reveals the authors' estrangement from the traditional Orthodox community."
