Next Branch Book Review March 10, 2011 — CANCELLED

 

The next Book Review Luncheon scheduled for Thursday, March 10, 2011 at 11:30 a.m. at the Anacapa Grill at Corte Bella has been cancelled..  Janet MacDowell would have reviewed Nobody Said Not to Go: The Life, Loves, and Adventures of Emily Hahn by Ken Cuthbertson.

By all accounts, Emily Hahn (1905-97) should be a household name. A trailblazer, she routinely defied convention and chronicled her singular experiences in hundreds of articles for the New Yorker and in more than 50 books. Cuthbertson, who met Hahn while working on his biography of John Gunther, speculates that she was just too controversial, versatile, and complicated for fame then, but not now. He adroitly brings her back into the limelight by detailing her achievements.

Although we won’t have the pleasure of hearing Janet MacDowell review this book, it sounds like one we would all enjoy reading..
