We’re having a hard time working today here at ARLA with the Eliot Spitzer scandal keeping us glued to every blog in town. So, in a desperate attempt to keep things literary, we’ve come up with a gift basket of books to soothe Governor Spitzer’s soul:
Eliot’s COLLECTED POEMS
SERILDA’S* STAR, by Olive Cook
O ALBANY!, by William Kennedy
THE EMPEROR’S CHILDREN, by Claire Messud
THE CLIENT, by John Grisham
MAYFLOWER, by Nathaniel Philbrick
KRISTIN LAVRANSDATTER, by Sigrid Undset
and (anticipating his resignation)
PATERSON, by William Carlos Williams
(* “Silda” is a version of the German name “Serilda”)
