Authors on this mornings
Today
show:
Danielle Staub, whose The Naked Truth: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewife of New Jersey--In Her Own Words (Gallery, 978-1439182895, $25) pubs today.
Memoirist Jen Lancaster, author of My Fair Lazy: One Reality Television Addict's Attempt to Discover If Not Being A Dumb Ass Is the New Black, or, a Culture-Up Manifesto (NAL, 978-0451229861, $24.95). PW thought “Though she's unquestionably funny and comfortable in her own skin, for all the joking self-regard there's little actual exploration, and the analysis of what she does find doesn't go far beyond a sassy thumbs-up or thumbs-down.”
The Diane Rehm Show hosted Dominique Browning, former editor-in-chief of House & Garden and author of Slow Love: How I Lost My Job, Put On My Pajamas & Found Happiness (Atlas, 978-1934633311, $23). PW’s starred review found it an “enchanting, funny, deeply gracious memoir. There is such feeling and care on each page of Browning's well-honed memoir—her rediscovery of nature, her avowal to let love find her rather than seek it, tapping satisfying work at her own keyboard—that the reader is swept along in a pleasant mood of transcendence.”

Actor Lou Gossett, Jr., whose memoir is An Actor and a Gentleman (Wiley, 978-0470574713, $26.95).
