New Releases by Jill Krementz

The Jews have been called "The People of the Book" for their love of reading and writing. This new collection, spanning three decades, brings together in photographs and text the many and varied Jewish voices - novelists, playwrights, poets, essayists, and scholars - that have enriched twentieth-century literature.

In lavish duotone photographs, Jill Krementz's The Writer's Desk provides an insider's view of the working lives of some of the world's most prominent authors. Accompanying each photograph is the writer's own commentary on the creative process or musings on individual work habits and habitats. This is a book for anyone and everyone who loves to read.
