Put Your Name Down Early!

This will be a busy week for many, so you may want to file away this review until next week- or use the library catalog to place a hold on what is sure to be a very popular item in our public libraries.
Nabokov had a “new” book released recently, and this week the New York Times Sunday Book Review wrote about the newly published title by Michael Crichton, who died last year- the manuscript for Pirate Latitudes was discovered on his home computer, and according to the Times reviewer, may have been “completed but not truly finished,” since there are a variety of continuity errors and a hasty ending that suggests this might have been an early work that was put away and never quite gotten back to- however, it’s also a “straight up pirate story” that will have a lot of appeal to Crichton fans.
