The Boston Globe just ran a wonderful review of Jay Neugeboren’s 20th novel, “The American Sun & Wind Moving Picture Company” (March 2013; Texas Tech University Press). Reviewer Madison Smartt Bell writes, “Already in the first chapter, the rapid weave of illusion and reality is intoxicating.” She ends the review with the following: “In the case of any other author, this work might be taken as the capstone of a long and distinguished career, but Jay Neugeboren is tapping such a well of energy that he might not even be half-finished yet.”

Vladimir Alexandrov has uncovered an incredible true story of how a son of Mississippi slaves reinvented his life becoming a millionaire, overseas! In “The Black Russian” Alexandrov takes readers on an adventure of epic proportions so much so, it almost seems like it couldn’t be real.

From The Daily Beast: “With so much focus on the black experience in America in the 19th century, we might never consider the black experience in Europe at the same time. Vladimir Alexandrov’s The Black Russian rectifies this oversight, and does so with panache. His tale is the biography of an individual who is wholly remarkable, regardless of race, and whose vitality, guile, and charm led him from Mississippi to Moscow, with plenty of adventures along the way.”
