Just out! GLORIOUS COUNTRY is a beautifully written new biography by Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist Victoria Johnson. The story of Frederic Church, arguably the most important 19th century American painter, the book is an absolute gem. Highly recommended.

Delighted to pre-order the forthcoming book by my friend and Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist Victoria Johnson. GLORIOUS COUNTRY tells the remarkable story of Frederic Church, the 19th century painter who forever changed American art. It's going to be a great read!
A big shout out to Jon Shaw and the excellent staff at the Vanderbilt University Libraries for hosting me last night for a MIDNIGHT ON THE POTOMAC book talk as part of the university's celebration of the semiquincentennial of the United States. Terrific audience and great Q&A.
