Sometimes it all just looks like a coincidence - a bunch of writers happened to live and work at the same time.<br /><br />But other times there is a story - the writers know each other, work together, or at least respond to each other's books.<br /><br /><i>Fathers and Sons</i> is impressive looked at in any number of ways.

Time to pick it up again, I can see that!Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-16923070738323374512012-12-19T04:41:48.017-06:002012-12-19T04:41:48.017-06:00this reminds me of Matthew Pearl's Dante Club....this reminds me of Matthew Pearl's Dante Club. It is about the great writers who lived around the same time in Boston when Longfellow was translating Dante's Divine Comedy.
