“Throughout [THE POISON BED], the author’s eye for gleaming edges and the textures of flesh provides much to admire — objects and bodies in particular have a forceful and occasionally grotesque presence on the page.”

In this excerpt from "Mendeleyev’s Dream: The Quest for the Elements," author Paul Strathern describes the state of science in the 19th century, and the growing hope that chemistry could explain the world
“The novel’s depiction of the Jacobean age has the vivid, cleverly constructed and always faintly unreal quality of a stage set. Fremantle doesn’t elide the differences between the present and the past in favor of a kind of immediacy, but rather presents the period as a cabinet of curiosities.”
In “The Poison Bed,” Elizabeth Fremantle reopens the case of Robert and Frances Carr, aristocrats charged with killing a man who opposed their marriage.
Was Gatsby an Oxford man?
Those who have read “The Great Gatsby” only once in the ballpark of 10th grade might be forgiven for not realizing the great importance placed in the novel on Oxford. In his history, “Gatsby’s Oxford: Scott, Zelda, and the Jazz Age Invasion of Britain: 1904-1929,” Christopher A. Snyder rem...
“Lauren Johnson: Author, Historian gives us a convincing picture of Henry, a gentle man unsuited to his position, and of his bloody and brutal times.“
—The Wall Street Journal
As France balked and dynastic rivalry intensified, a gentle, pious man occupied the English throne. No one was less suited for medieval kingship.

“Greene’s 1958 novel, filmed soon afterwards by Carol Reed, was a satire of British foreign policy in the wake of our national humiliation over Suez — so not a world away from the situation we face today.”
Cuba meant a lot to Graham Greene. Behind his writing desk in his flat in Antibes he had a painting by the Cuban artist René Portocarrero, presented to him by Fidel Castro, who had signed his name on…
Gary Phillips' crime novels (or short stories, anthologies, comics, or in this case, graphic novels–he really does it all) not only deal with with laws broken, but also with a broken social order where racism and corporate greed run amok.

One hundred miles or more?! Yes, you heard that right. . .
SALT LAKE CITY -- WHY!!?? That's the question that comes to my mind when I hear about 100 mile runs. Any running race longer than a marathon (26.2 miles) is considered an ultra run or an ultra race.
