In Praise of the Blind Item
By Sally Koslow
I want to know less about more people.
Admittedly, I’m partial. In researching and writing my new novel, Another Side of Paradise, I became thoroughly acquainted with Sheilah Graham, a columnist who pioneered gentle gossip even as she was the story, the last love of the very married (sorry, Zelda) F. Scott Fitzgerald. Call Sheilah’s reportage style was a catch-more-flies-with-honey Read more of this blog post »

| I have fallen in love with Barbara Pym's dry wit and social satire. She is a cultural anthropologist, not just an author who likes to write about that dusty corner of academia. | |

| I don't ever think I'll forget this quietly spooky Dystopian novel. For me, it suggested the horror of dementia's memory loss and the Holocaust as well as government suppression. Original and gripping. | |

| While aspects of THE YELLOW BIRD SINGS are tragically familiar--during the Holocaust, a Jewish mother and child must hide from the Nazis--Jennifer Rosner's prose is a cut above many similar books and the subtext about music also takes it to a higher ...more | |

| Impeccably reported. This extraordinary work of non-fiction reads like a novel and will challenge assumptions you may have about both poverty and India. | |

| Yes, I'm biased, because I'm the author, but this is what makes THE WIDOW WALTZ a read you'll thoroughly enjoy. The novel is a hybrid of family saga and mystery set in Manhattan and the Hamptons, where Georgia Waltz becomes a woman who--due to her hu ...more | |

| "Imperfect" as the main characters (three adult siblings, their ditzy mother, and a strong-willed grandmother) may be, each has an interesting story that the author amplifies with an even more interesting shared story plus a fascinating back story. ...more | |

| Mounting tension in a brilliantly crafted novel that leaves you thinking for days. | |
“ We'd like to take a look at the adoptable dogs. Please."
"... if you have any thoughts of feeding the dogs, you leave that thought with me."
"This is serious. You can't feed them... You feed them something you think is no big deal ... like a Slim Jim or a Vienna Sausage, and we're cleaning up a shitstorm at two AM."
"Shitstorm," Mark said. " Is that the clinical term, Dr. Peterman?"
" We call it a code brown at the hospital.”

“ I think people should get married at the courthouse without a single person present and no fanfare whatsoever. Then, if the couple makes it to ten years, they should have a big party. The whole shebang, white dress, flowers, cake of their dreams. After ten years they'd deserve it.”

“ ... The group is a wonderful mix of people - a microcosm, I believe, of what's really out there. Listen, Lucy, you do my job for a while and here's what you learn. No one is normal. Everybody struggles with something. Marital problems, depression, codependency, maybe a looming fascination with shoes or leather bags that keeps her working overtime shifts to pay off her debt. Whatever. Stop thinking everyone else has it together. It's not true. Precious few people have life figured out. 'Normal' just isn't normal anymore.”

“I'm getting chocolate. I need you. Come over." She hung up, hoping he would get the message. A binge was coming, get help.
Inside the store, she blew past the small plastic shopping baskets not made for heavy lifting, and wheeled the full-sized grocery cart over to the holiday aisle. One of the wheels dragged like a conscience, pulling the cart halfheartedly in the direction of the fresh produce. The other wheels squealed in protest.”
