Review of No Small Affair (1984) by Rita Kempley for Washington Post — 02 Sep 1990
Hinton was still a Tulsa teen when she wrote the best seller (4 million copies in seven languages) in the mid-1960s. Her brain wasn't mucked up with adult equivocation, so she didn't get into those confusing gray zones.
Great for her, but not for Coppola, who turns this long-awaited story into baffling mush.
