Reviews[Alter's] accomplishment...is almost absurdly impressive. One wants to call it titanic or Olympian or even heroic, but those are the wrong words--pagan words. Alter will have to settle for one of the God-fearing Hebraic terms of praise that stipple his text: 'righteous' or 'strong' or, simply, 'wise.'
