In Today’s Post…
. . . three new books arrived, and they are:
- Almost a Miracle: The American Victory in the War of Independence, John Ferling. Special thanks to Lauren at Oxford University Press. You are awesome. Thanks to you and your associates I will be the best read beach bum this year.
- Gabriel Garcia Marquez: A Life, Gerald Martin. Okay shame on me, I’ve never read any of Garcia’s books. Magical realism has never intrigued me. I’m hoping reading this bio will persuade me to read his books. This review is actually for another online publication, The Feminist Review.
- Letters from Barcelona: An American Woman in Revolution and Civil War edited by Gerd-Rainer Horn. My thanks go to the great publicity department at Palgrave Macmillan.
