Man & Dog: A Love Story by Tony Parsons is the book that finally made me cry - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I don’t cry at books. I just don’t. I must have cried at books when I was a boy, before I entered adulthood at the age of 13 with Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and the work of Ian Fleming and Tom Wolfe, but I don’t remember doing so. Catch me watching a romcom at 30,000 feet after two glasses of champagne and you’ll see a gibbering wreck, but I literally can’t remember the last book that brought a tear to my eye. Until this one. Tony Parsons wrote Man & Boy in 1999, a brilliantly engaging novel that

After any chapter of Colson Whitehead’s Harlem Trilogy, I feel as though I am reading a particularly operatic story by Damon Runyon, complete with molls, dolls and Broadway-laden side-eyes. It is the kind of widescreen social drama that immediately reads like a screenplay. With pitch-perfect colloquialisms and deadpan humour, these books tell the story of Ray C
Harlem Shuffle combines the pace of a crime novel with proper social drama (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After reading thirty pages of Colson Whitehead’s magisterial 2021 crime novel Harlem Shuffle, I felt as though I were reading a particularly operatic story by Damon Runyon, complete with molls, dolls and Broadway-laden side-eyes. Set in and around the famous Hotel Theresa in the early 1960s (a centre of the social life of the black community of Harlem, and once called the Waldorf of the area), Harlem Shuffle is the kind of widescreen social drama that immediately reads like a screenplay.

Freedom Round the Globe review: Did a planet in revolt create modern America? - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When is a history lesson not a history lesson? These days, pretty much never. History is now a “hot vertical” for publishers, often outselling thrillers. So it’s no surprise that the 250th anniversary of the United States should be celebrated by this spiffing new book from Sarah M S Pearsall. If you’re interested in the Revolutionary War that culminated in the creation of the independent United States of America, then this book might be the thing for you. In a sweeping reinterpretation of the Am
