This month you have your pick of any Erik Larson book. Read what others are saying about Erik Larson:
“Larson is one of the modern masters of popular narrative nonfiction…a resourceful reporter and a subtle stylist who understands the tricky art of Edward Scissorhands-ing narrative strands into a pleasing story…An entertaining book about a great subject, and it will do much to make this seismic event resonate for new generations of readers.” —The New York Times book review of “Dead Wake”
“Erik Laron’s accomplishment is to have made this great-storm story a very human one —thanks to his use of the large number of survivors’ accounts—without ignoring the hurricane itself.” —The Boston Globe book review of “Isaac’s Storm”
“A dazzling amalgam of reportage….Reads like a suspense novel, replete with colorful characters, both familiar and those previously relegated to the shadows. Like Christopher Isherwood’s Berlin Stories or Victor Klemperer’s Diaries, IN THE GARDEN OF BEASTS is an on-the-ground documentary of a society going mad in slow motion.” —Chicago Sun-Times book review of “In the Garden of Beasts”
