Dear Reader, The best book club selections are books you can argue about — books where the plot itself is in question, not to mention the cumulative meaning of those events. I designed my most recent novel, THE BROTHERS BOSWELL, to be just that sort of book: a historical thriller in which the narrator's memories undergo constant revision. The book follows the famous literary friendship between the author of the first modern Dictionary, Samuel Johnson, and his young biographer, James Boswell. But almost immediately everything is thrown into question: Boswell's envious younger brother John begins to stalk the famous pair around London, slowly revealing his own relationship with Johnson, a relationship that is either a desperately kept secret or the product of his own disturbed imagination. Send an email to marketing@sohopress.com to enter at one of 5 signed copies of the book. And please email me at pbaruth@uvm.edu. I'll gladly call-in to your next book club meeting, and argue with you all myself. Best, Philip Baruth |
