Interview: The Longest Date: Life as a Wife by Cindy Chupack
The best selling author of The Between Boyfriends Book and an award-winning writer for Sex and the City and Modern Family takes a hilarious and at times, a heartbreaking look at marriage in her latest novel, The Longest Date: Life as a Wife. Chupack has spent much of her adult life writing about dating and relationships for several hit TV series and as a sex columnist for O, The Oprah Magazine.

Review: The Voice Is All: The Lonely Victory of Jack Kerouac by Joyce Johnson
The life of novelist and poet Jack Kerouac has been widely documented through a series of biographies over the years since his death in 1969. So why read yet another biography about we well known author? What makes this one different than all the rest? The author of the biography, Joyce Johnson, had a romantic affair with Kerouac and focuses primarily on the events leading up to his most well known novel, On the Road. She offers an in-depth, unique knowledge and perspective of Kerouac as a writer. A lot of reviews out there have suggested that Johnson brings nothing new to the table in regards to Kerouac but for me,…

Review: Celebrating Pride and Prejudice: 200 Years of Jane Austen’s Masterpiece by Susannah Fullerton
Unless you have been living under a rock since your inception….odds are you have probably heard of the world’s most infamous romance novel….Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. It is a universally acknowledged truth that every literary major is in want of Mr Darcy. What is it about P&P that still captivated audiences 200 years after its publication? Susannah Fullerton explores what makes P&P so memorable for readers. Is it the characters: the dashing Mr Darcy or the unconventional Elizabeth Bennet? Or is it something more mechanical, say the literary style and use of ‘free indirect speech’ (FID) that sparks your interest? Perhaps you love P&P for an entirely different reason:…
