Obvious Omission
Yesterday there were two reviews of Bruce Watson’s new book Sacco and Vanzetti: The Men, the Murders and the Judgment of Mankind (one appeared in the , the other in the ) and both neglected to mention the best book about S&V — by Mark Binelli. Seriously, this book is hilarious and amazing. And much more entertaining than this Watson book . . .
And bringing this all back full-circle, Binelli and I are going to be co-hosting the Words Without Borders/Reading the World book club for Georges Simenon’s The Engagement starting after Labor Day. It’s a very interesting book, and I the online discussion should be a lot of fun, so I hope any and everyone reading this will participate.
