Praise for Scott Simon's previous books:

Praise for Unforgettable:

"This is an unforgettable meditation on a life lived, as Hemingway wrote, 'all the way up.'"
--Laura Hillenbrand, author of Unbroken and Seabiscuit

"Unforgettable is a treasure. It is as poignant and tender and wise as Tuesdays with Morrie, with the added virtues of being unflinching and, quite often, very funny. At its center is a remarkable woman, gorgeous and charming and relentlessly honest, who remains a true star to the very end."
--Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent

"Who would have thought that such short intimate tweets could lead to such literature? This mother and son story is personal, universal, and filled with humor. Scott Simon reminds us of the transience of life and the endurance of love--and that beautiful writing is the best guardian of memory."
-- Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran

Praise for Pretty Birds:
It is no insult to Simon's novelistic skill to say that his book's excellence rests finally on his reporter's eye and ear....Simon's novel is a fine tribute to the heroes and victims who were his friends [in Sarajevo].
--The Washington Post

A portrait of resilience, punctuated by mortar blasts and Clash songs
--The New York Times

"This extraordinary debut illuminates a time and place where civilians fought back....A magnificent tribute, not just to the Sarajevans whose siege Simon reported, but to the indestructible human spirit."
--Kirkus Reviews
