Await Your Reply, the new novel by Dan Chaon, author of You Remind Me of Me, is published tomorrow by Ballantine. It was reviewed by Janet Maslin last week in the New York Times, and oddly enough, I had read it a few days before as a review copy. One of the perks of being […]

July 29th marked what would have been novelist Chester Himes’ 100th birthday. Himes was born in 1909 and his family eventually settled in Cleveland, Ohio. As a young man he found himself on the wrong side of the law and spent the late 1920s and early ’30s in the Ohio State Penitentiary, where he began […]
