Riveting
My husband picked this book up from a bargain table at Borders. I was skeptical, looking at the cover, but it's one of the best true crime books I've read. Throughout the accounts of each murder investigation, Miles Corwin peppers you with intriguing information about the detectives, the victims, the suspects, various LA neighborhoods and LA history. It's riveting, to say the least, and you don't ...

History as a "Ripping Good Yarn"
If you`ve been fortunate enough to visit Paris, there's a good chance you've gone to the Louvre. There you may have found yourself looking at a very large and very striking painting, The Raft of the Medusa, by Theodore Gericault. The painting graphically portrays men dying, dead, and clinging to life on a raft at sea, while frantically signaling to a distant ship on the horizon in the hope of ...

Eat Your Heart Out, James Frey
Every writer who has been stranded in an airport is going to mutter "Why didn't I think of this?" when they pick up Jonathan Miles' epistolary first novel. Dear American Airlines is not a book about the perils of commercial flight (although they play a supporting role here). It's a novel about the perils of modern life. Especially the perils of modern life with alcohol. The protagonist, ...

An impressive first novel, but not as good as the hype
I heard interview after interview after interview with Jonathan Miles when this book came out. Based on what I heard, I was expecting a swift, fun satire. What I instead got was a kvetching slog. The main character, Bennie Ford, is a miscreant who I could never once find the remote bit likable. The other problem was the entire style of this book: a long letter to AA. Maybe if you sit around ...

The Wreck of the Medusa: The Most Famous Sea Disaster of the Nineteenth Century

Grove Press, 2008

Maritime Disaster, Political Disaster, Artistic Success
One of the many masterpieces within the Louvre is a huge and grim painting of a group of men abandoned on a raft in the middle of the sea, each in a pose of despair, or of the sliver of hope that a ship, seen as a tiny smudge on the ocean's horizon, might notice them. The famous painting, _The Raft of the Medusa_, is an 1819 version of what moviegoers now know as a disaster picture. It is the ...
