Book Review: ‘Luminous Bodies: A Novel of Marie Curie,’ Devon Jersild www.sevendaysvt.com/arts-culture...

Doing this next week in London:

What, you may ask, does a forgotten poem by a foreign-born Hollywood extra have to tell us now? All I can say is that Alexander Voloshin’s SIDETRACKED has been a source of comfort for me over the past few years—a sympathetic voice reaching across decades. “Been there,” he nods…

I hold in my hands a finished copy of the strangest and most wonderful little book, Alexander Voloshin’s SIDETRACKED: EXILE IN HOLLYWOOD. Not officially out until April 21, but I bet @pauldrybooks.bsky.social won’t stand on ceremony. Order it now, won’t you? www.pauldrybooks.com/products/sid...

Thank you @histnovsoc.bsky.social for selecting ALIAS O. HENRY by Ben Yagoda as an #EditorsChoice historicalnovelsociety.org/reviews/alia...

“The verse is light and bouncy, preventing the narrative from ever feeling heavy… [Voloshin] insists on always looking on or seeing the bright side—even as that occasionally requires some contortions.” No need to contort this bright review of SIDETRACKED! www.complete-review.com/reviews/russ...

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...
