Brass Diva: The Life and Legends of Ethel Merman
Here’s a link to my review of Caryl Flinn’s biography of Ethel Merman in Newsday. [pdf version here] Ethel Merman on “The Love Boat,” with Ann Miller, Carol Channing, and Della Reese. Click through for Merman and the Muppets.
Looking Back
Here are a couple links to my book roundups for 2007: Frieze Magazine and Newsday. Each article involves some scrolling. Definitely worth it to read all the lists–Ali Smith’s piece at Frieze is especially nice, and it looks like The Mitfords: Letters Between Six Sisters should be the next book I pick up.
