One feature of our new database, CountryWatch is its Country Reviews, which are comprehensive, regularly updated reports on every country! These reports include today’s news as well as political, economic, social, and environmental overviews, which include information such as the status of women, detailed statistics, and more!
New York Times Book Review
- Patricia Highsmith, Hiding in Plain SightA witty biography of the manipulative, secretive and obsessive novelist Patricia Highsmith, creator of Tom Ripley, a character who was a version of herself.
- Art Among the RuinsAt once an art appreciation course, a true-crime story and an American history lesson.
- The Cute One: Paul McCartneyThis biography aims to present Paul McCartney as more artistically and intellectually complex than the sweet and bubbly caricature we have known.
- The Smart One: John LennonA haunting, mammoth, terrific biography of John Lennon.
- The Wonder YearsMarie Ponsot’s sixth poetry collection is propelled by playful lines and mature perspective.
