Remain in Light, Andy Warhol
As bookstores in Atlanta and around the country close, two local authors have turned to e-books to get their words out, just in time for the holidays.
(Amazon says it is selling more than one million Kindles per week, and that their new Kindle Fire is the #1 bestselling, most gifted and most wished for product across the millions of items available on Amazon).
But back to the books…
If you visited the High Museum of Art’s Picasso to Warhol exhibit, you’ll enjoy poet Megan Volpert’s Sonics in Warholia (Kindle, $6.99).
A collection of love letters and hate mail Volpert imagines sending to pop icon Andy Warhol, it suggests that love him or hate him, we all have a little bit of Andy’s ghost hiding somewhere within us.
If you’ve enjoyed other biographies about and books by Andy Warhol (like my favorites, POP! and The Andy Warhol Diaries), Sonics in Warholia is a must-read.
Collin Kelley has penned Remain in Light (Kindle, $4.99), a mystery that takes readers from America to London to the fabled City of Light. This is the second novel in Kelley’s Conquering Venus trilogy.
Several characters from Kelley’s original Conquering Venus remain, but several more complex ones are introduced to keep the trilogy flowing.
If you like mystery novels and/or London, you’ll love Remain in Light.
Both authors are published by Sibling Rivalry Press.
