John Wilson on AE Stallings' FRIEZE FRAME: "I relished every page. Stallings packs so much into her account—so many interesting people, such a wealth of incident—yet does so with ease. Her book is at once compact and compendious..." firstthings.com/john-wilsons...

"My fam­i­ly his­to­ry in Italy reflects both the highs and lows of the Jew­ish expe­ri­ence here from 1848 to 1938." ~Gino Seg­rè This author traces his family history in Italy from 1848 to 1938, as laws and public opinion shifted. bit.ly/4lmTEr6 @pauldrybooks.bsky.social

The @jewishbookcouncil.bsky.social calls THE GOLDEN AGE OF ITALIAN JEWS "a fas­ci­nat­ing and improb­a­ble tale" that "holds many lessons for our own era." www.jewishbookcouncil.org/book/the-gol...

Happy pub day to Gino Segre! Kirkus Reviews said "Italian Jewry offers a lesson in ambition and resilience, patriotism and bravery." #JewishHistory #ItalianHistory #newbook www.pauldrybooks.com/products/the...

“[A] compact, original book . . . the Marbles will always be one of history’s singular Rorschach tests. Keats saw beauty; Byron saw tragedy; in FRIEZE FRAME, readers may see some version of themselves.” @wsj.com on FRIEZE FRAME by @aestallings.bsky.social www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

Today through Sunday! pauldrybooks.com #booksale #sale #books

"Highly entertaining. . .The anecdotal style of FRIEZE FRAME works wonderfully for a story driven by a few characters and their mad antics."—@thespectator1828.bsky.social on @aestallings.bsky.social‬ new book, a gossipy history of the Parthenon Marbles www.spectator.co.uk/article/its-...

"Frieze Frame is a lucidly brilliant, learned read that wears its learning lightly, inviting the reader into a coterie of artists and intellectuals, traced and uncovered with a poet's touch."--Times Literary Supplement on FRIEZE FRAME by A. E. Stallings www.the-tls.co.uk/classics/fri...

Poetic justice for the Parthenon Marbles? In her new book, ‘Frieze Frame’, A.E. Stallings captures the intense excitement the marbles caused in artistic circles when they arrived in London – and the sense of loss felt by Greek writers of the 19th and 20th centuries

Thank you @foreignpolicy.com for this very thoughtful review of THE ANACONDA IN THE CHANDELIER.
