Otto Penzler, owner of the famous Mysterious Bookshop in Manhatten, has done a brilliant project and, with this book, shared the results with us.
I have been reading Ken Auletta's pieces for many years, usually in the New Yorker, where he is its resident media critic, but also a few of his books.
Apologies to the long headline but I wanted the book titles in there
I will keep short, this time, my praise of Michael Connelly.
One of the cool parts about writing for Newsvine, plus having a good reputation and credibility, is that I can arrange interviews with both authors I know and like - my interview with Michael Connelly, for example, is in the works and will be published when his next book officia …
This is George Shuman's fourth book. He has a fascinating hook with his protagonist Sherry Moore. Though blind she has a gift whereby she can touch someone dead and see their final seconds. She is thus hired by police departments to solve murders.
I saw this fascinating, thought provoking documentary Aug. 9 I had previously arranged to interview the director, Andrew Shapter The following is the result of that interview.
This is part one of a two or three part interview. I asked the questions for the first part. You get to ask the questions for the next part(s).
This is the second half of my interview with Lisa Lutz about her clever and amusing Spellman series. The first half was here. Trust me, if you want to laugh or at least smile buy this book.
This is the third part of a four part series all about a documentary and memoir, both called The Horseboy.
This is the second part of a four-part series about Horseboy. Part One was the interview with the director of Horseboy, a documentary about this family.
This is the first part of a two part interview with Lisa Lutz
I confess I never got into the band Apples in Stereo. But when I was sent a copy of this album by the lead singer of the band I was intrigued. I mean look at the artwork for it - see photos. The album even comes with a little mini comic book, which you are invited to color in.
I wrote here about first seeing the band "Leaving, TX" and feeling duped that they were neither from Texas nor leaving it (except, of course, when they visited it) but loving their live show. I did an interview with the band for that album.
Last night I saw the band Clem Snide for the second time (both times in Austin) and what a difference six years can make. It took less than six years for some bands I loved in high school and college (bands like REM and U2 ) to become too poppy and mainstream and redundant for me.
Like many, I find Kinky Friedman fascinating. So it was with great pleasure that I was able to land an interview with him last year.
(I wrote this before I left, in case you are wondering where I find the time to do an interview while on the road) I won't bother this time with a long introduction. You can read about Tim Green's background at our prior interview here.
There are only two sites, not including Newsvine, which I check daily and they are Slate (mostly for its Today's Papers feature and the Obscure Store.
I am going to make my endorsement of this book concise: Woof! OK, I'll say it in English too: If you like dogs you will love this book. If you like twists on detective stories - and don't hate dogs - you will like this book.
I think I first heard of the Squeaky Wheel web site while reading Bob Sullivan's excellent book Gotcha Capitalism: How Hidden Fees Rip You Off Every Day And What You Can Do About It, an extension of sorts of his popular MSNBC column the Red Tape Chronicles.
This is the second part of my two part interview with David Denby. The first part focused almost exclusively on his new book. I asked if we could also talk some about films so this part contains comments both about snark and about films.
This is the first part of a two part interview with author David Denby. The second part, which I wll publish tomorrow, will focus more on some people who I consider historical snarkers - Churchill, Parker and Twain - and his answers to some film questions I asked him.
I had not heard of Bill Harley until a few weeks ago when I was asked if I would be interested in interviewing him about some children's books he has written.
I know and read Jan Burke because she brings together two things that interest me, journalism and mysteries. More specifically in her Irene Kelly series she has a protagonist who is a newspaper reporter who solves mysteries.
This is the second part of a two part interview with Steve Watts, probably most famous at Newsvine for his recaps of Lost. The first part - which was here - focused almost exclusively on said Lost recaps.
