We’re thrilled Roger Rosenblatt, a Long Island LitFest Special Reader, has received a good review of his latest, “The Book of Love,” by The New York Times.

“The book defies convention: It’s part jazzlike improvisation; part prose poem; part mash-up of music, art, literature, history, philosophy and pop culture. Rosenblatt sprinkles in references to Cole Porter and Vermeer, van Gogh and Goethe, polar bears and baseball, and whips it all into a swirling meditation.”

Rosenblatt is reading during Session 3 (4:00 pm) of LitFest, on May 31.
