The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite by David Kessler

Sabena, March 20, 2013

It’s hard to imagine that the food processing industry and restaurant chains that most of us patronize work so hard and so consistently to find ways to overcome and override the human brain’s natural systems to regulate hunger and hook us on the deadly trio of salt, sugar, and fat. But that’s exactly what Dr. David A. Kessler, former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Association, uncovers in his book, "The End of Overeating." There are newer books covering the same ground but it was this investigative journey that laid out the critical dirty facts and explained why you can “bet you can’t eat just one.”

The World to Come by Dara Horn

Sabena, January 1, 2010

The World to Come is a story-sculpture of life seen through the eyes of a Jewish orphan-survivor of a 1920s Russian pogrom and a man in post-Vietnam War America in pursuit of his family's history, a fluid weaving of past and present brought together by the art and humanity of Marc Chagall. The characters are as vivid and as unmoored as the people who populate Chagall's paintings. Rich in quietly, thoroughly observed detail, imbued with the music of Yiddish, it is a bouquet of spiritual quandaries planted in a crime mystery.
