NEW YORK TIMES -- YOUNG FRANCES is halfcoming-of-age story (female-friendship variety), half office novel. Lin's lineis both romantic and scrupulously composed, with precise framing that can recalla Wes Anderson tableau. The dialogue ranges from deadly accurate corporatejargon ("How long do you think you can survive withoutdeliverables?") to the kind of stuff you'd utter only to your closestfriend ("People can get tapeworms in their brain, right?"). And Linknows precisely when to let a few panels of premium Canadian silence sink in.(One character is shown reading - wait for it - Alice Munro .).
