“I have read the biography of Judge Tuttle, written by one of his former law clerks

Elbert Tuttle was. He was really a surprisingly fine judge.” The video of the entire interview is available here. Justice Stevens' comments start at 24:56.The Village Voice names BLOOMBERG'S NEW YORK as the Best Overlooked New York Book of 2011.
The Daily Beast selects Erskine Caldwell's TOBACCO ROAD for its monthly series American Dreams: The 20th Century in Novels. Each month, columnist Nathaniel Rich writes about a single novel and the year it was published. TOBACCO ROAD is his pick for 1932. "As a comedy, TOBACCO ROAD is a modest failure; as a tragedy, it’s an abject failure. And yet Erskine Caldwell’s novel, 80 years after its publication, remains a giddy, obscene joy. It as indelible as a freak show or car crash."
