With painstaking research, stylistic verve, and an eye both admiring and exacting, Ms. Hartigan has pieced together the man behind the 20th Century Cycle, bringing Wilson to furious, complicated life.

I'm about 2/3rds of the way through Iris Murdoch's A Word Child which explores the fascinating terrain of how one continues living when they have done something truly unforgivable and is, of course, still scathingly funny.

@katiesisneros @nyrbclassics Also this is very flattering. Have you read Jo Walton’s THE JUST CITY? I’m reading it now and bet it’ll be up your alley

Happy book birthday to @dankois 's wonderful VINTAGE CONTEMPORARIES, which the LA Times calls "overstuffed with bittersweet beauty!" If you love Whit Stillman, Laurie Colwin, or Nicole Holofcener, this book is for you! https://t.co/XYCxCW5ugu

THE ITALIAN GIRL by Iris Murdoch moves from Gothic to Farce to Horror to Shakespearean Romance but unlike in The Sea The Sea it never quite comes together. A misfire, but Murdoch is so good it has its interesting parts. https://t.co/8pAkW01hZX
