Thomas J. Craughwell

Authors to meet, books to know: Elizabeth McCracken, Thomas Mann, Cornell Woolrich, Jamaica Kincaid, Anthony Trollope and his direct descendant, Joanna Trollope. Hemingway on fishing, David Mamet on directing, Diana Souhami on the real Robinson Crusoe. William Randolph Hearst and his hold over Hollywood. A magnificent sequel—Theodore Rex—and the book everyone talked about, Bel Canto. Plus possibly the most hard-boiled detective novel of them all: I, the Jury. Readers have all the fun. Every day it’s a new adventure.
