Last month I asked the author what she was reading. Her reply:
Last January I had the privilege of hearing Francine Prose lecture on the stories of Anton Chekhov. Since then, I’ve been reading books byVisit Enid Shomer's website and Facebook page.her that I missed when they came out, including the biography, Caravaggio, and the novellas entitled Guided Tours of Hell.
I enjoyed also Geraldine Brooks’s Caleb’s Crossing and Hella Winston’s Unchosen: The Hidden Lives of Hasidic Rebels.
A couple of days ago, I shelved the excellent memoir by Paul Pines entitled My Brother’s Madness.
Finally, I’ve just finished reading Julian Barnes’ latest novel The Sense of an Ending.
