MADELEINE BLAIS’ Queen of the Court: The Many Lives of Tennis Legend Alice Marble is the colorful story of the legendary tennis star and international celebrity who in 1939 won unprecedented multiple tennis titles at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. Blais presents Marble as one of our greatest female athletes – and a multihyphenate who left behind an inspiring legacy. In The Brazil Chronicles, STEPHEN G. BLOOM shares the wild story of a crazy expat English-language newspaper in Rio de Janeiro, filled with merry pranksters, fugitives, drug runners, CIA moles, pornographers, and ex-cons – and that’s just for starters! Hunter S. Thompson first tried out gonzo journalism there; Tad Szulc, who broke the Bay of Pigs story, worked at the Herald, as did the daughter of the English language’s greatest screenwriter, Ben Hecht.
