I'm also working on translating some of Leon Bloy's short stories from French into English.<br /><br />I also just finished <i>Husband-Coached Childbirth</i>, by Robert Bradley. My feeling is that the Bradley childbirth method is great, but the book is far less great. Repetitive, digressive, indifferently edited, and weirdly anachronistic - better to stick with a class.<br /><br />-<span style="font-style: italic;">Summer Block Kumar, contributing editor</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9410840-3908088885418244493?l=www.identitytheory.com%2Fbookblog%2Findex.html' alt='' /></div>Matt Borondyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00808239856224352060noreply@blogger.com0
