Take On “the Burden”: To Calm the Angry or Argumentative | Blatant Berry
By John N. Berry III
“When the sane are dealing with the insane, the burden is on the sane.” That was one of my father’s favorite axioms, especially after some family argument (or a few drinks). The rest of the family used the idea frequently to calm our angry discussions with one another or with our friends and adversaries. |

Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA Sonali Dev's A Distant Heart is one of three starred fiction titles this week. "Dev crafts another thrilling story filled with intense drama, deep emotion, and well-developed characters; a can’t-put-down book." In nonfiction, Stay or Go: Dr. Ruth’s Rules for Real Relationships, by Ruth K. Westheimer with Pierre A. Lehu, is "a clearly written, succinct resource for those waffling with the decision to stay or move on from a long-term relationship." Monet: Itinerant of Light, by Salva Rubio with illustrations by Efa, is this week's starred graphic novel. "This beautiful, evocative story will please fans of biography, art history, and impressionism. Highly recommended." And Teri Wilson's Royally Wed, the third title in the "Royals" series, is this week's starred e-original. "This reviewer must admit never to have seen the film Royal Wedding—the basis for this novel. The true joy and romance evoked by a Fred Astaire film, though, is definitely present here."
