Jemimah Wei is the GMA Book Club Pick!

The Book Case ·

2025/05/08

Jemimah Wei’s The Original Daughter is the GMA book club pick for May, and we loved it. In some ways, this book is not just a compelling family drama, but it is also a thoughtful depiction of Singapore, a country often misunderstood by Americans as being simply a home for glamour and high tech discovery. This novel centers around the lives of everyday Singaporeans, and how one family is torn apart when a new daughter is introduced to the home by way of a grandfather’s polygamy. Why did this book

David K. Shipler Interprets Interpreters

The Book Case ·

2025/04/24

The Interpreter is a beautiful book about the end of the war in Vietnam and one interpreter’s story as his country is torn apart and remade over and over throughout his lifetime. David K. Shipler is arguably one of the greatest journalists of our time. A veteran reporter who wrote about Russia, Vietnam, and Israel (to name a few), he has a Pulitzer to his name and his non-fiction books are legendary. I mean, the man ran a foreign desk for the New York Times and taught at Princeton. So why write

Curtis Sittenfeld Tells Great Stories

2025/03/13

We love short story collections. We hope this doesn’t put us in the minority, because when authors do it well the books can be transcendent. Case in point, Curtis Sittenfeld’s latest is Show Don’t Tell. We didn’t find one story in there we didn’t like. Each feels like a breath of fresh aired emotional honesty, a glimpse into the lives of memorable characters at various turning points questioning their own choices.

Politics are heavily loaded in today’s America; we seem to be so angry at one another.
