THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW – MAY 28, 2023:
The New Definitive Biography of Martin Luther King Jr.
“King: A Life,” by Jonathan Eig, is the first comprehensive account of the civil rights icon in decades.
Growing up, he was called Little Mike, after his father, the Baptist minister Michael King. Later he sometimes went by M.L. Only in college did he drop his first name and began to introduce himself as Martin Luther King Jr. This was after his father visited Germany and, inspired by accounts of the reform-minded 16th-century friar Martin Luther, adopted his name.
Victor LaValle’s Latest Mixes Horror With a History of the West
His novel “Lone Women” follows a Black homesteader in Montana who is haunted by secrets and a dark past.

We don’t know why she’s doing what she’s doing, what happened to her family or, most important, what else she has or hasn’t done.
