Regarding the new book by Katherine Heiny "Standard Deviation"--

I read it and enjoyed it a lot. But if you are an origamist who considers him 
or herself to be "normal," be prepared to see yourself through a very different 
lens (i.e. the rest of the world).

Hello All,

Speaking from France.  I have heard about a French translation of this book,
because the French translator asked some questions on the French origami
forum last month. The origami text sounds good :)

I haven't read the novel, so can't comment on the portrayal of the couple's 10 
year old son, " an accomplished origami practitioner..."

I have read the novel, and can say that she mostly gets the origami right, with 
a little exaggeration here and there. It’s a pretty funny novel. (Full 
disclosure: the author contacted me during her writing, and I gave her some 
tips and suggestions. So I am not entirely unbiased.)
