In
his latest book, award-winning
author Roger Rosenblatt charts
a journey that is as visual as
it is poetic. Cataract Blues,
on the surface, is a
collection of lyric fragments
illustrated by the legendary
Jules Feiffer. A careful
reading (and viewing) rewards
bibliophiles (and optical
aficionados) with a nuanced,
thoughtful, and magical paper
machine that is about seeing,
cataracts, mystery, the blues,
insight, love, and memory. At
once a masterpiece of creative
non-fiction and a poetic
experiment, ‘Blues invites
readers to consider new
approaches to the visual and
the literary.
Advance
word on Cataract Blues…
“While everyone
around you is seeing red,
along comes a happy outpatient
who’s just nuts about the
color blue. Prompted by his
wildly successful eye surgery,
Roger Rosenblatt celebrates
his new favorite wavelength by
letting it wash over
everything that matters —
nature, history, music,
memory, laughter, loss, and
love. This is a master, at
work and at play.”
Garry Trudeau, Author
and Illustrator of Doonesbury
and Former Guy: Doonesbury
in the Time of Trumpism
“Cataract Blues is a
poem, a pastiche, an elegy and
a riff—a celebration of life
in all its colors and shades,
its sweetness, its beauty, its
comedy, its pain. A gift from
two of our most cherished
artists, jamming together -
gloriously.”
Alice McDermott, Author
of Charming Billy: A Novel and What About the
Baby?

Associated Preston: A
Memoir of Betrayal, War,
Reporters, Gatekeepers,
Cynics, Sex Addicts,
Sycophants, Politicians,

Insiders, Social
Elitists, and more, as

sort-of-retired
Journalist
introduces readers to the
inside scoop on the paper of
record for "America's Finest
City," and, in the process,
introduces the world to an
unprecedented history
documenting inner intrigues at
the newspaper, local disputes,
and more. The book unfolds as
a rambunctious tell-all
memoir, filled with a
reporter's savvy and a
comedian's snarky bite. The
Associated Preston treats
readers to a unique history of
a gay reporter, a newspaper,
and a city, and reveals that
the heralded paper of record
for San Diego often looked the
other way when it came to
stories coming from its own
newsrooms.
