I’ve never heard of this book or author, but I’m excited to read Cassandra now. I’ve added this book to my reading list - the author sounds fascinating, too. I love that you’ve linked the narrator to Esther Greenwood - I’m sold :)
Wonderful piece Kate! As always, I leave your posts ready to add more books to my tbr. Your newsletter is dangerous for my wallet, I swear. (in the best way possible of course)
I too had never heard of her, Kate. Thanks for the recommendation. And I'll have a look for her novel about Bix Beiderbecke - one of my Grandad’s favourites and a wonderful sound from my childhood.
Thanks for introducing me to an author and book I'd never heard of! One to look out for, and also her novel about Bix Beiderbecke. This latter reminded me of Half Blood Blues by Esi Edugyan, about a fictional jazz musician - but that's probably too recent for your work. (I loved it!)
Kate - I consider myself somewhat well read, especially on the American Literature side of things. I have never heard of this author or her works. Something new for me to check out.

I haven’t read the trilogy. But, oh dear... with all your recommendations, I won't be able to move for books soon. 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

This is so well researched. I have never heard of this, thank you.
Never heard of this one either and love learning about it!

This is an incredible, criminally underrated book!
"Young Man With A Horn" would be adapted into a feature film starring Kirk Douglas in the 1940s.
