Jules Feiffer to Release Memoir in March 2010
Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Jules Feiffer’s recognizable and subversive comic strips, which ran in the Village Voice as well as one hundred other papers, won him legions of fans.

Read it here.

On Sale Now: Ayn Rand and the World She Made
She was one of the most controversial and influential figures of the 20th century, but her life has never been chronicled by an impartial biographer — until now. More than fifty years after The Fountainead and Atlas Shrugged were written by Ayn Rand, she remains a revered, reviled, and extremely vital force in American intellectual life. Journalist Anne C. Heller makes an important contribution to the ongoing debate about Rand with this masterful biography.

Mark Lamster Sounds Off on Huffington Post
In an article in today’s Huffington Post, author Mark Lamster explains how President Obama might take a cue from Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens.
