Our Least Interesting Author
Comment of the Week
Winner gets a free Nextbook Press book appropriate to his or her comment (provided he or she emails me at mtracy@tabletmag.com with his or her mailing address).
This week’s winner is “Chaim,” whose suggested title of a less “less interesting Jewish book” was, “Anything by LIEL LEIBOVITZ” (caps his).
Because “Chaim” is basically asking for it, we are making an exception this week and, instead of sending him a Nextbook Press title, giving him Aliya, Liel’s moving volume about American immigration to Israel; the less interesting title of this would be Aloha, and it’d be about Americans moving to Hawaii.
