03.22: Sy Safransky
2015-02-14 01:01:37| Powells Books Events Calendar
In 1974, Sy Safransky borrowed $50 to start The Sun. As the magazine has grown, he's become a busy editor and publisher, but he still gets up before sunrise to write in his journal, publishing excerpts in a section of the magazine called "Sy Safransky's Notebook." Many Alarm Clocks (The Sun) offers a selection of those excerpts: a lyrical, personal, often self-deprecating series of ruminations on love and loss, faith and doubt, hypocritical Republicans and feckless Democrats.
