This year started with Truman Capote and moved to Kennedy men misbehaving. Summer spent reacquainting myself with Judy Blume. Then back to Kennedys, which led to Jackie Kennedy's impact on the arts and historical preservation with a brief return to Truman. Egyptology followed, and then Palm Beach, mystery writers, and Guilded Age heirs.
This story is about a great-grandson of Alexander Hamilton. The story about him and his grifter wife is something.
2026 will (hopefully) be expanding on Judy Blume and other women authors that pushed boundaries in the 60s and 70s, as well as the pile of books about art - the artists, their inspirations, and a theft or two.
And Truman, of course. Always Truman.
