This Week's Acquisitions
- Arabella Edge, The God of Spring (Simon & Schuster, 2008). Historical novel about both the event that inspired The Raft of the Medusa and the creation of the painting itself. (eBay)
- I. J. Singer, The Brothers Ashkenazi (Other Press, 2010). Reprint of Singer's 1936 novel about the competitive relationship between two Jewish brothers in turn-of-the-century Lodz. (Lift Bridge)
