Bill Marx Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

@KathleenCStone finds "The Color of Time: Women in History, 1850 – 1960" (@PegasusBooksUSA) to be a coffee table book scan of women’s history that reads well and is visually striking. https://t.co/WTfUCio3f6

Preston Gralla reviews Andrey Kurkov's "Grey Bees" (@DeepVellum) and Yevgenia Belorusets' "Lucky Breaks" (@NewDirections ). Neither book is directly about the war itself. Rather, in sometimes oblique ways, they show the price paid by #ukraine’s civilians. https://t.co/uikcyME4jf https://t.co/dMZOHSHCle

Peter Walsh on "Isabella Stewart Gardner: A Life" (@PrincetonUPress) by @gardnermuseum curators Nathaniel Silver + Diana Seave Greenwald. As befits an official biography, the authors approach their potentially controversial subject with decorum + respect. https://t.co/iNgaAEjQVf

@emeek on @Atkinson_Jay's story collection "The Tree Stand" (@LivingstonPress) These are compelling stories about the trials and tribulations of dynamic, working-class characters. https://t.co/bHB2NjLNRL https://t.co/vxZQIGgYzO

@blittlegame finds "Barred"(@BasicBooks) to be illuminating but discouraging: Daniel S. Medwed demonstrates just how astronomical the odds are against anyone in prison who tries to question a guilty verdict, no matter how suspect the conviction. https://t.co/lvspFJF2ou

Bill Marx

At its best, writes @jonblumhofer, @SteveReich's "Conversations" (@Hanover_Square) is illuminating and engaging assemblage of chats, an honest discussion of the creative process by one of the major composers of our times. https://t.co/rYm4SogUtT https://t.co/98ZWC3SSAG

Daniel Lazare finds the argument of "#Christianity's American Fate: How Religion Became More Conservative and Society More Secular" (@PrincetonUPress) too fainthearted. https://t.co/yoUDElgYVL https://t.co/1OkLvR13kS

@pkeough1 reviews two books - both from New York Review Books-- by #Russian authors who left their homeland after the #Ukraine invasion: Maxim Osipov's conventionally Chekhovian "Kilometer 101" and Vladimir Sorokin's ferocious dystopia, "Telluria. https://t.co/85dtBNETqy https://t.co/1GUSw13abZ
