Hamptons Authors Publish! Brooke Shields, Kelly Klein, et al
Looking for a good winter read? Hamptonites have been very busy writing this year.
East Hampton author Linda Coleman’s debut memoir, Radical Descent: The Cultivation of an American Revolutionary has gone into its second round of printing with Pushcart Press. The memoir chronicles Coleman’s decision to join a revolutionary guerrilla cell in the 1970s, and follows her precipitous journey to a path of committed non-violence. Famed East End author Peter Matthiessen called it “A rare first-hand account by an active participant in the radical underground movements … distinguished by the courage and painful honesty so critical in a memoir of this kind.” Get it here!
