Time to close a few bookmarks. Here is some recent book news and reviews with a Chicago connection from around the web:
• The Chicago Tribune reviews Easy Innocence, a new mystery by local author Libby Fischer Hellman.
• The Denver Post reviews Windy City, the new political novel by Scott Simon, and calls it "nothing less than a passionate love letter to Chicago and its political machine."
• Sara Paretsky talks to the Independent about everything from obesity to embryo research to Barack Obama as Bleeding Kansas is published in the UK.
• Tony D'Souza writes a long essay about Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee for the NBCC blog, in which he argues that the novel is "the definitive work on South Africa’s present state."
