I’m in a scattershot mood this morning, so today’s post will be rather scattershot. First, I’d like to give a shout-out to three colleagues with recently published books: Lana Dalberg, BIRTHING GOD Judith Newton, TASTING HOME Monica Wesolowska, HOLDING SILVAN I’ve mentioned all three on Facebook, and Monica guest-blogged here a few months ago, but I must mention them again here.

Events of enormous consequence. Events that ushered in a new world. I would never minimize … Continue reading
Vacation Reading
Read anything good on vacation? We haven’t even decided where we’re going this year—Grand Tetons? Hawaii? Yosemite? Stinson Beach?—and already I’m answering the question. You see, as soon as I start thinking about where, I start considering what books to bring. I go away for a weekend and I bring a bag full of novels and a few months’ backlog of New Yorkers. It’s not just a question of overestimating my time; it’s a question of what I’ll be in the mood for. An Adam Gopnik essay? A Donna Leon mystery? Time to read up on the situation in Syria, … Continue reading
