![]() ![]() He began to suffer from insomnia and became intolerant to noise. Unfortunately, due to fatigue, he had to rest and, therefore, he did most of his intellectual work at night. Two years after gaining his degree, he was offered a contract with Arbeiter-Unfall Versicherungs Anstalt (Institute of Insurance for Accidents at Work, at the Prague Office of “Assicurazioni di Trieste”) which allowed him to be free in the afternoon and to dedicate his time to writing. It was at about that time that the early signs of lung tuberculosis became apparent which eventually led to his early death at just 41 years old. ![]() He gained his degree at the German University, in Prague, on 18 th June, l906.

![]() ![]() The intimacy conventionally associated with a first-person narration collapses into irony, as the reader must decide whether they are another victim of Amber’s very coaxing strategy of protecting herself through evasion. Plunged into her claustrophobic perception, the reader must sort through prevarications, obfuscations, and elaborate smokescreens to get even a sense of Amber Reynolds’s character. Everything she admits, including that she lies, might be a lie. She even goes by two different names, Amber and Taylor. ![]() Amber explains at one point how every morning she dons her face like an outfit and says, “I unzip the body of who I used to be and step outside myself a newborn Russian doll wondering how many other versions of me are still hidden inside” (252).

Part of me also wishes that said history class would also make you read certain historical fiction books to coincide with lesson plans. Apparently years ago I couldn’t be bothered with things like that, so I’m making up for lost time now. You know in high school, where you don’t appreciate what you’re being taught? As an adult, part of me wishes I would have paid more attention in history class- either that or take an extension on a class to delve further into history. Once I read the description, I was hooked, and waited patiently with crossed fingers that I would be chosen to review this book. It’s about the only genre that has not disappointed me. For some reason, this year I have dove head first into historical fiction. What drew me to request this book? First and foremost, the cover AND the title of this book drew me in. “The Other Einstein” has a scheduled release date of October 18th 2016. Given that fact, it has not altered my opinion on the book at all. I was chosen by Netgalley to review the book “The Other Einsten” by Marie Benedict (aka Heather Terrell). ![]() ![]() ![]() The most recent The Last Thing You Surrender (2019), is the story of three characters from the Jim Crow South living during World War II, where they confront racial conflict at home and on the front lines. ![]() ![]() Pitts is also the bestselling author of several novels. It covers “pretty much everything,” according to Pitts, including “issues of race, gender, sexuality, religion, politics and morality.” He says that the most difficult thing about writing a column is shaping the topic, but what is most rewarding “are those rare instances when someone admits that your writing changed their minds.” This syndicated weekly column is one the most widely read of its type in the country, and nabbed Pitts his Pulitzer in 2004. Pitts started his career in the 1970s as a music writer and critic for magazines and the Miami Herald, where he transitioned to writing an opinion column in 1994. Prior to this teaching experience, Pitts has taught at Morgan State University, Hampton University, Ohio University, Virginia Commonwealth University, Princeton University, the University of Maryland and George Washington University. ![]() Pitts is well equipped for this work – besides a 43 year career in writing, he received the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, among many other awards.
