Today's Boston Globe had a short interview with Charles Frazier. He's working on a new book centered on Varina Howell Davis. He's cagey about it, saying only that he had to do a lot of research. He found a request for books by Varina to the Library of Congress, including Confessions of an English Opium Eater. She sometimes read to Davis when he wasn't feeling well.
Frazier admits he's getting leery of reading books "with a certain heft" They have to be worth while for him to invest the time. "I always could reread Anna Karenina. I know I like that."
He had some interesting recommendations for readers we well.
