.@andrewrsorkin has written an absolutely riveting & illuminating account of the '29 market crash, one that clarifies many misinterpretations & has deep resonance today. Here's a great review of it wsj.com/arts-culture/books/1… via @WSJBooks

It’s a great day for readers who love richly reported, rollicking history. Congrats to @jonathanmahler on his brilliant new book out today!
NEWS: My new book is out Aug 12! It's a narrative history of NYC in the 80s, a sort of sequel to The Bronx Is Burning. It's the story of a cast of outsized figures (Koch, Sharpton, Trump, Rudy, Larry Kramer, Spike Lee and more) who turned the city into their own, grand stage 1/4

There is so much to read but don’t miss this supremely well-researched and powerful new book by Haley Cohen Gilliland called “A Flower Traveled in My Blood.” Very grateful to have finally read it.
A FLOWER TRAVELED IN MY BLOOD is out now! Haley Cohen Gilliland delivers the epic true story of a group of courageous grandmothers who fought to find their grandchildren who were stolen while Argentina was under the control of a military junta. “[An] astonishing story…Powerful…Harrowing…Absorbing and lucid…You would have to harden your heart to be unmoved by the Abuelas’ quest.” —Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times “Inspiring…A triumphant saga of ordinary people doing extraordinary things in the face of pure malevolence.” —Hampton Sides “Enthralling…Written with the nail-biting verve of a thriller.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Piercing, emotional...Will resonate for generations.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
