Jerome Charyn Blogs for Jewish Book Council

Jerome Charyn’s new collection of short stories, BITTER BRONX continues to receive great reviews!

Most recently it is mentioned in this month’s O, The Oprah Magazine and described, “With echoes of Walt Whitman’s fantastical city and the hard-boiled territory of Mickey Spilane BITTER BRONX elevates the borough’s stoops and sidewalks into the realm of myth.”

This week he has been blogging for the Jewish Book Council’s Visiting Scribe series.  His third and final blog is about going “Back to the Bronx.”

Read all three of his blogs on the Jewish Book Council’s website.

Interest in Richard Katrovas’ memoir RAISING GIRLS IN BOHEMIA continues to grow. In this week’s issue, Kirkus Reviews  weighs in on Katrovas’ essays, calling the book…
“A distinguished writer and English professor chronicles his experiences living and loving between American and Czech cultures….At times brutally provocative, Katrovas’ essays, which also grapple more generally with otherness, faith and the role of art in society, are nothing if not stimulating….ultimately humane.”
