My @bostonglobe.com column this week features Hester Kaplan, whose book about her father blends biography, memoir, and craft class. I really enjoyed it! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/09/a...
Looking in the pages of a father’s book to finally understand his mysteries - The Boston Globe
Growing up in a book-filled Cambridge house, the middle daughter of two successful writers, it is unsurprising that Hester Kaplan became a writer herself.

can't get this opening line out of my head "we swim in oceans of quackery" -- a sentence that could take you almost anywhere -- in this case, it's to a book review that also includes the phrase "jibber-jabber" and heralds a book I'd like to read
