From earlier this week, Patrick Leigh Fermor's Kidnapping a General: The Kriepe Operation in Crete (2013) and M.T. Anderson's Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of Leningrad (2015); from Raven Used Books this afternoon, Noralee Frankel's Stripping Gypsy: The Life of Gypsy Rose Lee (2010). They are holding two more books for me while I try to figure out if I can come up with the money after paying up front for the hat repair (and then dinner out with derspatchel, which I do not regret; I had goat). One is a recent collection of essays on Benjamin Britten, the other the first book-length survey I've seen of Jewish Entartete Musik.
