The Last Good Season: Brooklyn, the Dodgers, and Their Final Pennant Race Together“.. this is one terrific read…With equal parts sport, history, politics and sociology, Shapiro’s book is reminiscent of the works of Caro, Halberstam and Kahn, a work that belongs right next to The Boys of Summer in every sports fan’s library.” |
Solomon’s Sword: Two Families and the Children the State Took Away“In crisp, heartfelt prose, (Shapiro) advances the drama well enough to digress into discussions of theory and history, and to introduce a chorus of outside experts whose comments on the cases are informed and helpful…Families, he tells us, are families when the children think they are.” |
Japan: In the Land of the Brokenhearted“Mr. Shapiro perceptively chronicles the perplexities and frustrations of five Americans trying to adjust to life in a homogeneous society that takes pride in its uniqueness…Its insights make it a useful counterpoint to the many volumes filled with enthusiastic appraisal of the new Japan.” |
Who Will Teach for America?“…at the heart of Who Will Teach for America? — are the wonderful possibilities inherent in teaching. Michael Shapiro captures this essence and this hope clearly.” |
The Shadow in the Sun: A Korean Year of Love and Sorrow“With this collection of 20 portraits of ordinary — as well as some very extraordinary — Koreans, Michael Shapiro has gone a long way toward filling this void, and he has done it with a mixture of sympathy, criticism and irony that will fascinate even those readers who never will visit Korea.” |
