by Jon Katz

Maria has offered five good books in wonderful condition for sale as part of the continuing Bedlam Farm Book Sale.

Maria is handling this program, she does the work and gets the money: [email protected]. If you want to purchase a book, please e-mail her, and if the book is still available, she will explain the payment process.

If you’d like to see a review of each book, you can go to her blog, fullmoonfiberart.com.

Book One is The Wind Knows My Name, a novel by  Isabelle Allende, whose books have sold more than seventy million copies worldwide. It is a story about family.

Book Number Two is the novel Mercury Picture Presents by Anthony Marra, a funny and moving story about some brilliant women – European Immigrants who flee World War II and end up in the movie business. The story focuses on Maria Lagana, who came to Hollywood to escape her past.

Book Three: The Code Breaker by Walter Isaacson is a nonfiction study (more than 500 pages) of Nobel Prize Winner Jennifer Doudna, a Gene Editor who may have made a discovery that might change the future of the human race.

Book Four: Martyr by Daveh Akbar is funny, chilling, and gripping all at once. To me, it’s an astonishing first novel from a brilliant young poet. The story is about martyrdom, loss, violence, and redemption. Akbar is a much-decorated poet whose work has appeared in the New York Times, the New Yorker, and the Paris Review.

Book Five: Yesterday’s Spy by Tom Bradby is a mystery about a tired British Spy who returns to dangerous Tehran, where he was once stationed, to rescue his journalist son, who has disappeared and is believed to be a prisoner of the secret police.  It’s very well done and skips pointless violence and gore.

Please e-mail Maria if you want one of these books. They are all in excellent condition. Rather than having our books gather dust in our house, we like to see them go to people who read our blogs and follow our work.

If you want to purchase one, they are $10; you can e-mail Maria at [email protected].

Please wait for her response before sending any payment. Also, please don’t send the payment to me. Thanks.
