Linking in Lincoln: June 26, 2008

Linking in sibling rivalry!

New this season from the University of Nebraska Press is, Sister Brother: Gertrude and Leo Stein by Brenda Wineapple.  This book chronicling the “devoted, eccentric, and compelling” brother and sister follows them from childhood to adulthood and the events leading to their separation. To celebrate the beloved relationship, this weeks Linking in Lincoln is going to Link all things Sibling!
