Two Willses Writing Book Reviews
November 29, 2009
Book reviewing is a family business.
Two sets of Willse bylines in today’s Newark Star-Ledger. I’ve got a review of Ben Mezrich’s book about the founding of Facebook. And Dad’s got a twofer–
‘Total Recall: How the E-Memory Revolution Will Change Everything;’ ‘Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age’
Check it out- I’m impressed with the way Dad pulled together two books, showing different views of information preservation in the digital age. Also- he quotes the authors, something I don’t feel comfortable that I can do well in a review. Yet.
Dad’s out of the newsroom, but not out of journalism. He’s enjoying his retirement, as I’m getting my writing career launched.
It makes me feel proud of both of us.
