New Sunday Reviews

Written on: April 12th, 2010 by: in Blog Posts

The Bridge, David Remnick’s new biography of President Barack Obama leads off this Sunday’s Sunday Book Review section this week. This “exhaustively researched” book concludes with the new President’s inauguration, and provides fresh perspective on his rise to the nation’s highest office, with reinterpretation of his autobiographical writing and new details about how a strategy of “omnidirectional placation” enabled Obama to move into offices never held before by one of his race.

Harvard entomology professor and noted scholar of evolutionary theory Edmund Wilson detours into fiction in Anthill, the story of “a southern Alabama boy comes of age in the thrall of ants, nature and solitude, determined to save what he loves from destruction.”

Last Summer of the Death Warriors is a new Young-Adult title from Francisco X. Stork, an insightful story about “a boy struggling to find his way through a tangle of love, loss and retribution.”
