I’m L.A. Times books editor Carolyn Kellogg — welcome to this week’s newsletter. THE BIG STORYWith her last book “The Empathy Exams,” Leslie Jamison proved herself to be one of our most interesting thinkers. Entering our nonfiction list this week is “Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump” by Michael Isikoff and David Corn. The co-authors will be coming to the Festival of Books, appearing Sunday, April 22, to talk about their book. The Beastie Boys’ Mike D (Mike Diamond) has been working on a memoir with fellow band member Ad-Rock (Adam Horovitz).
