Book excerpt: Rob and Hannah Wilson (twins, 30) return home to Oregon from Europe for their father's funeral. Dan Wilson, 70, rests in a green cemetery of twittering birds and sun-dappled shade, beside his second wife (or was she?) Nancy, who died in 2018 after 30 happy years together.Unnoticed among two dozen mourners stands a beautiful, stylish angel named Claire from a parallel reality, wearing designer sunglasses and a Parisian outfit. Claire is the ghost of the twins' baby sister Klara, who died as an infant in 1979 while Dan Wilson served as a young U. S. Army soldier in Heidelberg, West Germany. Ghostly Claire is invisible, but has a faint glow behind her, untouched by raindrops. Moving unseen through this novel, otherworldly Claire plants Dan's journals and drops clues to send Rob and Hannah on a mission: tying together loose ends, family secrets, and dead people in three parallel worlds.Claire's other gift to our world is to reveal the secret behind Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, Mona Lisa (which would have seen Leonardo burned at the stake by the Inquisition, had the truth come out).Dan and Nancy Wilson's twin children are carry this story to its amazing destination. Hannah works for a Paris insurance firm, while dating young music producer Yves Cartier. Rob is a doctoral student at Frankfurt's Goethe University, dating Elise Gillen of Luxembourg.Back in 1978, young Dan Wilson made a tragic decision on a famous bridge (Pont des Arts, by the Louvre in Paris) to abandon the true love of his life (Paris student Claudette Vervain). Dan returned to his duty station in Heidelberg, and married a Croatian-German girl named Stana Chetko based on Stana's lies that she was pregnant by Dan. Their daughter Klara (Claire) was conceived soon after. In a dark, forbidding mountain village near Heidelberg, Dan Wilson's emotional nightmare included a loveless marriage; infant Klara's death from a heart defect caused by Stana's drinking, depression, and not wanting a child; sociopathic bullying by Stana's father (an escaped Croatian Nazi war criminal who raped Stana as a child); and Dan's unsympathetic, ignorant, at times cruel U.S. Army superiors. After his Army years, Dan returned to Oregon. He started a wonderful new life, marrying Nancy, and having the twins Rob and Hannah. But dark shadows of our past lie long upon the afternoon of a person's life.In 1970s Paris, Claudette's doctoral thesis revealed stunning info on Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa in the Louvre, credited to notebooks of Dr. Benjamin Wandrous, a Jewish scholar murdered by the Nazis in occupied 1940s France. After Dan left her, heart-broken Claudette dated a young alcoholic, with whom she died in a car crash in 1979. Her revelations were lost.Rob and Hannah journey to Paris, to learn the truth about their father's life, and why Leonardo da Vinci obsessed over his unpaid portrait of that soulful woman of 1500s Florence, Lisa Gherardini.In the Shakespeare & Company bookstore on the Left Bank, Hannah brushes by her lost sister's ghost under a famous sign: "Be not unkind to strangers, lest they turn out to be angels."Fate does work with angels to fix unbearable situations. On a windy, weepy, rainy 1979 night as Klara died at the medical center in Heidelberg, a miracle came to the remote village. Broken-hearted Dan slept exhaustedly, but woke in darkness knowing it was the moment of her death. A calm, self-assured adult woman's voice spoke in his head; his baby daughter, as a mature woman (somehow, somewhere in time...).Claire's voice said not to worry; all will be fine. Dan Wilson heard her speak inside his head, did not understand her message, and would grieve for his baby's death all of his life. Klara's message was that, on a future day, at the moment of his death, her daddy would receive a wonderful gift: a new start, a new life. That promise is set in motion at Dan's funeral in Oregon...

Book excerpt: This remarkably illuminating portrait of Tennessee Williams lifts the veil on the heart and soul of his artistic inspiration: the unspoken collaboration between playwright and actor. At a low moment in Williams’s life, he summoned to New Orleans a young twenty-year-old writer, James Grissom, who had written him a letter asking for advice. After a long, intense conversation, Williams sent Grissom on a journey on his behalf to find out if he or his work had mattered to those who had so deeply mattered to him. Among the more than seventy women and men with whom Grissom talked were giants of American theater and film: Lillian Gish, (“the escort who brought me to Blanche”), Jessica Tandy (the original Blanche DuBois on Broadway), Eva Le Gallienne (“She was a stone against which I could rub my talent and feel that it became sharper”), Maureen Stapleton, Julie Harris, Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Elia Kazan, Marlon Brando, John Gielgud, and many more. Follies of God provides dazzling insight into how Williams conjured the dramatic characters and plays that so transformed American theater.
