☆ Edel Rodriguez Isn’t Afraid to Live With the Consequences
  + stars: | 2023-11-08 | by ( Benjamin P. Russell | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
In 2015, hearing Trump, as a candidate for president, echo Castro’s talking points, Rodriguez felt the need to sound the alarm. He published drawings online and shared them on social media, hoping that magazines or newspapers would pick them up. “Edel is one of the very few artists who brilliantly manage to simplify complicated matters while never drifting into clichés,” Brinkbäumer said. When Rodriguez sent Der Spiegel a draft of a cover featuring Trump as a meteorite headed toward Earth shortly after his victory in 2016, Brinkbäumer published it unchanged. Life, politics and procrastination, Rodriguez said, slowed the inside of the book from taking shape.

☆ What Researching the AR-15 Revealed About the ‘Zelig of Guns’
  + stars: | 2023-09-22 | by ( Benjamin P. Russell | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
One of the things that we’re really proud of is that we’re telling Stoner’s story for the first time. One of the key things we try to answer in this book is: What would Stoner think about what’s going on today? Why is it that the AR-15 became this symbol, and not some other gun? Going back to the 1994 assault weapons ban, the AR-15 was kind of an afterthought at the time. We really wanted to show the impact on their lives.

☆ A Nicaraguan Novelist Betrayed by the Revolution He Helped Build
  + stars: | 2023-09-01 | by ( Benjamin P. Russell | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Sergio Ramírez has been forced into exile twice; once for his role in a revolution and once after writing, in a work of fiction, about what that revolution became. “When it comes to suppressing freedom and exercising absolute power, the distance between left and right is erased,” Ramírez said. “They want the same things.”It’s not hard to see why authoritarians of varying stripes might want Ramírez to just go away. Ramírez was an intellectual leader of the Nicaraguan revolution that ousted the right wing dictator Anastasio Somoza in 1979. He is also the prizewinning author of dozens of novels, short story collections and works of nonfiction.

☆ The Making of a New M.L.K. Biography: A Q&A With the Author, Jonathan Eig
  + stars: | 2023-05-08 | by ( Benjamin P. Russell | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Having written about Muhammad Ali, Al Capone, Jackie Robinson and other touchstones of the American imagination, Jonathan Eig says he recognizes a common trait in the disparate personalities he’s explored. “Most of them, if not all of them, have a serious streak of rebellion running through their lives,” Eig said. “King: A Life,” will be published on May 16 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Eig builds on the ongoing reappraisal of King’s legacy with new archival material and extensive interviews with people who lived, worked and fought at his side. Many of these interviews were conducted with some urgency: The window to speak to people who knew King personally is closing, Eig said.
