Blog Tour for Jerome Charyn’s Latest Historical Fiction Kicks Off 1/6!

The blog tour for critically acclaimed author, Jerome Charyn’s latest novel, THE PERILOUS ADVENTURES OF THE COWBOY KING: A Novel of Teddy Roosevelt and His Times kicks off on Sunday, January 6, the 100th anniversary of Teddy Roosevelt’s death. Check out the full schedule.

In this novel, which The Washington Post calls “tremendous fun” and Kirkus Reviews calls, “colorful, entertaining” in its starred review, Charyn gives new dimension to Roosevelt, revealing Manhattan’s swampy underbelly after the Civil War, TR’s farcical and dangerous expeditions to the Dakota Badlands, and his personal anguish at losing his mother and wife on the same day.  Like the best of E.L. Doctorow, historical detail is supported by a keen grasp of language and marked by a lack of sentimentality about the past.  With a colorful supporting cast—including Buffalo Bill Cody, Eleanor Roosevelt, Leon Czolgosz (President McKinley’s assassin), plus Josephine, the loveable mountain lion who was the mascot of the Rough Riders (seen with Roosevelt on the cover), and the Rough Riders themselves, whom Roosevelt never deserted, THE PERILOUS ADVENTURES OF THE COWBOY KING is historical fiction and Jerome Charyn at their very best.

Washington Post compares novelist Jay Neugeboren to Philip Roth

Jay Neugeboren’s 19th novel, “The Other Side of the World” (Two Dollar Radio Press, December 2012) just got a great review in The Washington Post.  Reviewer Mark Athitakis writes, “that the linguistic precision, wry humor and libidinal neurosis contained in [Neugeboren’s] fine new novel put[s] him in good company with the recently retired master.”  That master?  None other than Philip Roth!  Athitakis continues to write that “The Other Side of the World” can charm you with its grace, intelligence and scope.”  Read the full review: http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/the-other-side-of-the-world-by-jay-neugeboren/2013/01/04/6afb76ea-49ec-11e2-b6f0-e851e741d196_story.html
