“I have never been able to stop wondering where my friends’ money came from, nor to stop thinking that at one time a sort of droit de seigneur might have been exercised to give one of them my girl. For 16 years I lived pretty much as this latter person, distrusting the rich, yet working for money with which to share their mobility and the grace that some of them brought into their lives.” - from New Directions' F. Scott Fitzgerald: On Booze, which I reviewed at The New Inquiry.

For NPR I reviewed Sarah Burns' (daughter of documentarian Ken Burns) book on the Central Park Five, the group of boys wrongfully convicted of the rape of the Central Park Jogger in 1989. Very compelling read; highly recommended for those who know little about the case.
