You Are Not a Stranger Here

Adam HaslettEyal PressEyal Press

Along with his many great performances, I fondly remember hearing William Hurt read a story from Adam Haslett's great collection You Are Not A Stranger Here, at Symphony Space, in 2003. RIP.

Articles of Faith: A Frontline History of the Abortion Wars

Cynthia GorneyEyal PressEyal Press

@NadiaYChambers Recommend any number of books if you want more detail on the history, including Cynthia Gorney’s Articles of Faith. Clinics seemed like a good idea at first to some reproductive rights advocates, who understandably distrusted mainstream medicine. It was a combination of things.

Prisoners of the American Dream: Politics and Economy in the History of the Us Working Class

Mike DavisEyal PressEyal Press

Very sad to hear that Mike Davis is gravely ill. City of Quartz is justly regarded as his masterpiece but his book on American labor is stunning as well, one of the best studies of the US working-class that I’ve read.

Open: An Autobiography

Andre AgassiEyal PressEyal Press

Can a fellow tennis fan explain how Andre Agassi — amazing ground strokes, incredible return — only won the French Open once, a tournament where his biggest rival (Sampras) was a non-factor?
