« Read Street is 1! | Main | Bill Ayers at the Pratt tonight »
Today from 1 to 2 p.m., WYPR's Midday show will feature local author Steve Luxenberg, whose new book Annie's Ghosts: A Journey Into a Family's Secret, has been getting great reviews. A revelation by his mother sent Luxenberg, a Sun alum and Washington Post associate editor, on a search for the truth about an aunt he never knew existed.
Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.

This book sounds SO good. I hadn't heard about it anywhere else. It really bugs me that the press seems to be most interested in books by boring celebrities. I wish those celebrities would just go away and not bother us anymore. And take their books with them.

I heard part of the Midday show, and the story was very compelling. Cheers to Steve Luxenberg for looking behind that curtain.
