TT: It just keeps rolling along

The holiday hubbub surrounding Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong is subsiding at last, but the book continues to sell nicely and–almost as important–people continue to write about it, almost always with the utmost enthusiasm. Here are some recent links that will interest you if you’re interested in Pops:
• USA Today calls Pops “superb, clear and definitive.”
• The Associated Press calls it “magnificent.”
• The Christian Science Monitor calls it “informative and insightful.”
• City Journal calls it “luminous.”
• “When Terry Teachout writes something, you read it. And you are richly rewarded.” So says Jay Nordlinger apropos of Pops in National Review.
• Milt Rosenberg recently spoke to me about Pops on WGN’s Extension 720, his Chicago radio show. To download a podcast of the interview, go here.
Finally, two reminders about upcoming in-person appearances: I’ll be talking about, reading from, and signing copies of Pops at Politics and Prose in Washington, D.C., at seven p.m. on Thursday, January 7. For more information, go here.
I’ll also be doing a star turn at the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens on Saturday, January 9. Admission is free, but reservations are essential for this afternoon event, which also includes a guided tour of the house where Armstrong lived. For more information, go here.
