Insiders SDJW/ Staffbox


It's always nice when one author can appreciate the work of another. Laurel Corona, who wrote The Four Seasons,
a historical novel about Vivaldi, and co-authored Until Our Last Breath, a non-fiction work about Jewish partisans in Lithuania, in the last two days has written a pair of book reviews for San Diego Jewish World. She gives a "thumbs up" for Drawing in the Dust, a work by Rabbi Zoe Klein, reviewed in this edition, and yesterday expressed her approval for All Other Nights, a Jewish story of the Civil War era by Dara Horn. We hear stories about writers being jealous of one another, afraid that another's success might diminish theirs. In fact, artists and writers don't really compete with each other, but rather complement each other. If people who today derive all their information from a screen--be it a television, a computer, or a large screen in a movie house-- can be turned onto books, they might keep coming back to libraries and book stores again and again, and then all authors--Klein, Horn, Corona and thousands of others--will enlarge their audiences.
