Did you hear Scott Simon's interview on NPR last week http://www.npr.org/templates/s...with Francine Prose about her new book,Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife? Prose argues that even at 15, Anne Frank was already a great writer. I had never realized that she re-wrote her diary in the months before the family was arrested. The NPR website has a long excerpt from the book, which seems to answer the question of whether there is anything new to say about Anne Frank with a resounding "yes."
