“It is a dramatic novel, filled with action, extraordinary description about Charley’s life as a man. It’s a page-turner and the novel draws you from the first page until you have turned the last page.” ~ @Goodreads review of "The Whip" by Karen Kondazian @karenkondazian #karenkondazian #TheWhip #BookRecommendation #HistoricalFiction #BookReview #MustRead

I just published a short essay about Peter Eisenstadt's remarkable book, Against the Hounds of Hell: A Life of Howard Thurman. If you don't know Howard Thurman, or even if you do, this short piece provides a succinct overview of his critical importance. Three main points - ✅ He was a leading religious figure in the 20th century ✅ He was the intellectual architect of African American religious nonviolence ✅ His teachings are an ethical compass for navigating our complex lives today Thanks to the journal Peace and Change: A Journal of Peace Research for the opportunity to write about Thurman. https://lnkd.in/ebZCk2Jj

https://lnkd.in/eVMmUdpg  Take a look at this strange book by David Arthur Walters

What can be learned from a book about its #history? A book can tell us a story—not only with the help of the content itself but also with the aid of small clues hidden within it. We must ask ourselves: Was it given as a gift? What collection did it come from, a private or public one? We have to check if it has a dedication, and decipher who the owners were. In the project 'The Library of Lost Books,' we seek to trace the books from the library of the Higher Institute for Jewish Studies in Berlin, which was looted by the Nazis and scattered around the world. With the help of all those little clues, we can trace the history and determine through whose hands the books passed until they reached us. Slowly, we will find all those lost books.

"The way that we talk about history - be it our own personal history or something on a grander scale - says a lot more about who we are, what our morals and values and agendas are, than anything that actually happened in the past." Last month I got to chat with Lucy Nathan over at BookBrunch about my debut novel SARGASSA, worldbuilding, the road to traditional publication, and why straightness might be a cult.
