Book Review: “Irving Berlin: New York Genius” — A Significant Life

Biographer James Kaplan was aided by the assistance of Irving Berlin’s two elder daughters, and that makes this biography particularly valuable.

By: Benjamin Sears Filed Under: Books, Featured, Jazz, Music, Review Tagged: Benjamin Sears, Irving Berlin, Jewish Lives, Yale-University-Press

Book Review: “Love in the New Millennium” — Inscrutable Passion

This is a bewildering, frustrating, deeply weird novel, densely written and remarkably free of signposts.

Book Review: Patti Smith’s “Devotion” — Not Devoted Enough

The short volume promises a glimpse into Patti Smith’s intuitive creative process — but disappoints.
