Being new here, I want to dispel the rumor that I would use entreating dog eyes to get your attention that I have a new novel, #TheAward, from @harpercollins.bsky.social and that Petey and Honey will only be happy if you read this book that's being called "spellbinding." I would never! #BookSky

Shipwrecked on a remote Pacific atoll: bad. Encountering a murderer on that atoll: You gotta be kidding. I reviewed Matthew Pearl’s new nonfiction book Save Our Souls for The Boston Globe. This shipwreck business, it’s just no fun. But the book is.
Deep research and great storytelling make ‘Save Our Souls’ soar - The Boston Globe
Matthew Pearl’s tale of a real-life shipwreck reads like a novel.

Thanks for this, Jerry! So glad you enjoyed #SaveOurSouls
Book #20 of 2025: Save Our Souls. A haunting, high-stakes tale of castaways—both literal and spiritual. Stranded souls, survival, and secrets collide in a blend of history and suspense. You’ll feel the desperation of multiple could-have-beens. #BookReview #SaveOurSouls #MatthewPearl

Thanks Levent! Just joined here and so appreciative that you'd share your thoughts on #TheDanteClub
In The Dante Club, Pearl takes on the events around a literary club which started with Dante's La Divina Comedia and folded into grisly murders that seem to copy Dante's punishments in L'Inferno. It is a pretty enthralling book and I enjoyed reading it a lot.

Run to your nearest bookstore to pickup Matthew Pearl’s literary gem.
This story of the cutthroat world of authors is suspenseful, eye opening, & gripping. I read it in a few hours. The realistic storyline makes me wonder about the author’s past. He did say some of it was real. 😳😉 #BookSky 💙📚

Literary Cambridge, behaving badly - The Boston Globe
Matthew Pearl’s cleverly plotted literary satire "The Award" begins with an intriguing author’s note: “Some of this happened.” We may never know just what.
