REVIEW: Revelation at the Foodbank by Merrill Joan Gerber

Gerber is a writer’s writer, sharing memories of more than 60 years of working at the craft

As a fan of Colum McCann’s fiction, I was anxious to read his first nonfiction book. I was not disappointed.

J. Michael Lennon’s literary identity has been intertwined with that of legendary writer Norman Mailer for more than a half century.

Through the story of one girl’s murder, the writer examines evolving attitudes about the roles women are forced to assume in American society.

They’ve been in their roles quietly for a bit, but it’s time to make some noise about these two fantastic folks.

How does the writer fashion a memoir in the absence of life experiences recalled?

The memoir’s inciting incident is the death of her estranged husband who is struck by lightning while boating.

Lueders… has written a book that reflects both his love of the earth and love of language.

Among Schwartz’s most thought-provoking pieces is “In The Land of Double Narrative.”

Any writer of nonfiction or memoir owes a debt to Mailer, who pioneered techniques that came to define nonfiction, memoir and the New Journalism.
