Hi everyone.
It's been a while since I posted anything here, but I checked out a couple of Lindbergh-related books from the library and have begun reading them. I just wanted to see if anyone else has read these.
Believe it or not, I've never gotten around to reading A. Scott Berg's Pulitzer-Prize winning biography of Charles Lindbergh. I finally checked the book out of the library and began reading it. I'm only in the beginning section of the kidnapping chapters, and have a long way to go with the book. I'm assuming my blase attitude toward the book, so far, is based on my having read so much about Lindbergh and the kidnapping case before reading this one. If I had read this book first, I wouldn't have put it down. Information overload, I suppose.
Also, I simultaneously began reading Beneath the Winter Sycamores. It is called "creative non-fiction," presumably the same way Don DeLillo's "Libra" was a creative semi-fictional take on the JFK assassination. Anyway, I just started reading it, so it's too soon to comment on it.
I'll post a follow-up review when I'm done. I'm focusing first on Jim Bahm's book.
Jd
