I didn't particularly like it; perhaps because I didn't particularly get it. Prove smarter than me, and write a better review.

Herman Melville (1857): "The Confidence Man" This novel contains a multitude of people and aspects and elements and perspectives, and makes for good reading, but overall I found it to be not quite at the Moby-Dick level (a tall order). Since my methodological work in mathematical statistics sometimes touches on "confidence intervals" and "confidence methods" I note with interest and fascination that a "confidence man" is the etymological root of "con man", i.e. a trickster who may fool you if you are not acutely alert. That puts an interesting twist on my confidence intervals and frequentist confidence distributions.
