Book Review: The Homesman

Tommy Lee Jones has a new film out. He directed it and stars in it along with Hilary Swank. And it's coming to Long Island.

Arts Critic Joan Baum says you may want to read the book before you see the movie. The book is The Homesman by Glendon Swarthout.

Joan Baum is a recovering academic from the City University of New York, who spent 25 years teaching literature and writing. She covers all areas of cultural history but particularly enjoys books at the nexus of the humanities and the sciences.
