Dr. Amiri’s Recommendations

  • Charlatan by Pope Brock
    • A marvelous portrait of a boundlessly audacious rogue on the loose in an America that was ripe for the bamboozling. 
  • The Art Forger by B. A. Shapiro
    • Thirteen works of art worth today over $500 million were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. It remains the largest unsolved art heist in history, and Claire Roth, a struggling young artist, is about to discover that there’s more to this crime than meets the eye.
  • The Double Helix by James D. Watson
    • Francis Crick and James Watson revolutionized biochemistry & won themselves a Nobel Prize.
