The first in my review series, “Three Books to _______,” is up today at The Millions! It’s “Three Books to Get Over an Affair.”  Inspired by Alain de Botton’s idea that the “the cultural journalist should act as a kind of chemist … At the end of reviews, one might find discrete tags, comparable to the labels on pill packets, that would specify what sort of situation a given work might be for – and why,” each installment will review three books that address – some directly, some more tangentially – a particular issue. One book will be a classic, one will have been released in the last year, and one will be of a different genre. Look for the next installment in October!
