Dan Barry Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

A beguiling recollection of having written ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ with Loretta Lynn by the wonderful, all-too-modest @georgevecsey. https://t.co/ct14EQsWBn

Always read @JohnBranchNYT. This means, then, that you must buy and read his just-released collection, “Sidecountry.” https://t.co/zxnLXffgso

A great review for Joe Sexton's first book, "The Lost Sons of Omaha," about a fatal encounter between a white bar owner and Marine vet and a Black protester and new father. Powerful. ://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/09/books/review/the-lost-sons-of-omaha-joe-sexton.html?smid=tw-share

Thank you, @amywojsbu, for remembering “Pull Me Up” - a good part of which is about the Irish girl in that photo. https://t.co/C8WZz1evmh

Eliza Minot, an exquisite writer (and a friend), has published her third novel, "In the Orchard," chronicling a single day in the life of a mother of four young children. Here's a lovely review of Eliza's latest, by @jessaminechan: https://t.co/LaV0PhSoO4

“Walking With Ghosts,” by and with Gabriel Byrne. The language, the evocation of people, places, moments... Just: See it. https://t.co/iNEfxOikMk

When the future looks back at who we were as a society, essential reading will be the intimate, unflinching and remarkable book "Invisible Child," by the remarkable @andreafelliott, from which this piece is adapted. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/28/magazine/dasani-invisible-child.html?smid=tw-share

Martin McDonagh's "Hangmen" is opening on Broadway this spring, two years after the pandemic shut it and everything else down. In March 2020, on the cusp of the world changing, I wrote this piece about McDonagh and his play. Seems now like a dream. https://t.co/9WmguDGqjI
