Warren Adler's Summer Reading List
PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST, AS AN OLD MAN
by Joseph Heller
This book was dismissed when it first came out, but it should be read by anyone interested in the writing game. Heller gets into the mind of the aging protagonist and, with humor and insight, bits into the nitty gritty of the aging process and the way in which the exit route is strewn with many minefields.
THE RISE OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT
by Edmund Morris
This is absolute must reading for anyone interested in politics. Edmund Morris, who wrote DUTCH, the much maligned but brilliant Reagan biography, has written the quintessential life of one of America's most important Presidents. Considering the thin intellectual gruel of our present President, the Roosevelt book will make one nostalgic for the days when it was possible for a great man to become a great President.
NEIGHBORS: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland
by Jan Tomasz Gross
This small book about the destruction of the Jewish population of the Polish town of Jedwabne by their neighbors in 1941 is a chilling reminder of the depths of Polish anti-Semitism. Jews, who constituted half the town's population were beaten, abused, ridiculed, the women raped, then locked in a barn which was deliberately burned down killing all the imprisoned occupants.
THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER AND CLAY
by Michael Chabon
This epic novel which won the Pulitzer Prize will keep you busy all summer. It's epic sweep and originality makes excellent fare for those who want a lot more meat on their intellectual bones, despite the dog days of summer
REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST: SWANNS WAY WITHIN A BUDDING GROVE
by Marcel Proust
This first volume of the classic work by Proust provides a great start for your long postponed resolution to read all seven volumes of Proust. It's worth tackling especially in summer with its finite beginning and ending. It is the perfect summer spectacular and a great antidote for all the mental junk food Hollywood will spit out in the same time frame.
