I seemed to favor non-fiction this week.
The "Deal Me In" card this week is the Ace of Hearts and the story is Drone by Miles Klee (in Watchlist : 32 stories by persons of
interest).
Not particularly good. It may be intended as a drug induced hallucination. Whatever.
from the library...
Miss Grief and Other Stories by Constance Fenimore Woolson
I really liked these stories. Will read more by her on Gutenberg
After the Fire by Henning Mankell; translated from the Swedish by Laurie Thompson
There is some mystery in this novel (who set the fire) but it's more about coming to terms with aging.
Istanbul: a Tale of Three Cities by Bettany Hughes
A comprehensive history of the city and its place in world history.
The Bettencourt Affair: The World's Richest Woman and the Scandal That Rocked Paris by Tom Sancton
The author says this isn't going to be gossipy--but how can it not be? A good read.
The Secret Life of the American Musical: How Broadway Shows Are Built by Jack Viertel
Another good read.
