Author/Artist

Jewish artist and novelist Jonathan
Santlofer, the recipient of two National
Endowment for the Arts painting
grants, began his writing career in
1989 after a gallery fire destroyed five
years of his artwork. He now equally
pursues both of his passions.
Santlofer's initial literary efforts in
suspense fiction resulted in his Kate
McKinnon trilogy, in which McKinnon,
a Catholic former homicide detec-
tive married to wealthy Jewish lawyer
Richard Rothstein, is drawn back to
crime solving in the novels The Death
Artist, Color Blind and The Killing
Art. In his new series, debuting with
Anatomy of Fear, Santlofer introduced
NYPD sketch artist Nate Rodriguez,
son of a Puerto Rican father and a
Jewish social worker mother, and
included more than 100 of his own
original sketches.
In his latest work of fiction, The
Murder Notebook (William Morrow;
$24.95), Santlofer brings back the bril-
liant and possibly psychic Rodriguez,
who has visions of two crimes — one

ohn M. H
Pr

past, one present. Like its predecessor,
The Murder Notebook combines liter-
ary suspense with original drawings.
Readers can meet the author
as Santlofer presents The Murder
Notebook 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 18,
at the Baldwin Public Library, 300 W.
Merrill, in Birmingham, (248) 647-
1700; and 5 pm. Thursday, June 19, at
the Neutral Zone, 310 E. Washington,
in Ann Arbor, (734)-214-9995.

Selling briskly since its January
release is Michael Pollan's In
Defense of Food. Pollan, 53, is
a college journalism professor
and the brother of actress Tracy
Pollan; that makes him the broth-
er-in-law of actor
Michael J. Fox.
The winner of
many literary and
science awards,
Pollan was for-
merly executive
editor of Harper's
magazine; he's
Michael Pollan
an expert on food
and agricultural systems.
In his new book, he proposes a
new (and very old) answer to the
question of what we should eat. It
comes down to "seven simple but
liberating words: Eat food. Not too
much. Mostly plants." He urges the
return to the eating of well-grown,
unprocessed food. Some Jewish

Jewish filmmaker Roman Polanski
survived the 1969 murders of his wife
(actress Sharon Tate) and unborn son
by Charles Manson to continue his
career as one of filmdom's most cel-
ebrated directors. But in 1977, a scan-
dal erupted involving a 13-year-old girl
and a bizarre legal case led Polanski to
flee America.
The Sundance Award-winning docu-
mentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and
Desired reopens the complex and con-
troversial case 30 years later. Featuring
exclusive interviews with many of its
key players, the film challenges many
of the myths that have built up around
the courtroom drama.
The film makes its television debut
9 p.m. Monday, June 9, on HBO. Check
your listings for additional broad-
casts. ❑

"foodie" groups have cited his
work as they strive to create a new
Jewish cuisine that remolds tradi-
tional Jewish cooking into some-
thing much healthier.
Screenwriter and novelist David
Benioff, 38, is out with a novel, City
of Thieves, which is set in World
War II Leningrad. The city is under
siege by the Nazis and the popula-
tion is starving. A Russian Jewish
teenager and a charming non-
Jewish Russian soldier are jailed by
the Soviets on minor charges and
face execution. However, they're
given a conditional release to scour
the countryside for a dozen eggs
for the wedding cake of the daugh-
ter of a powerful army colonel.
Their lives depend on their success.
Benioff married actress Amanda
Peet in 2006 in a Jewish cer-
emony. ❑
