Stacy Schiff, author of Cleopatra (Little, Brown, ISBN 978-0316001922), is on The Diane Rehm Show today. PW’s starred review called the book, “"[An] excellent, myth-busting biography.... Schiff enters so completely into the time and place, especially the beauty and luxury of the 'great metropolis' of Alexandria, Cleopatra's capital, describing it in almost cinematic detail. And though we all know the outcome, Schiff's account of Cleopatra's and Antony's desperate efforts to manipulate their triumphant enemy, Octavian, make for tragic, page-turning reading. No one will think of Cleopatra in quite the same way after reading this vivid, provocative book."
