So happy to see The Expert of Subtle Revisions among the most recent Staff Picks at The Strand Bookstore<\/a>! I loved going there when I lived in NYC. The heart photo below is from the last time I was in town. Here’s the blurb from the store:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA young woman with a missing father; rumors of a music box that can travel through time; the difficulty of editing a Wikipedia page. In The Expert of Subtle Revisions by Kirsten Menger-Anderson, The past does not need to be repeated, but it keeps happening anyway. Are the college campuses of 2010s California really so different from the cafes of 1930s Vienna? How can we learn from history if we can\u2019t even figure out what it is?\u201d \u2014 Tania B., Visual Merchandiser<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See the rest of the recommendations on The Strand Bookstore Substack<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
