You're listening to reading glasses, a show about book culture and literary life designed to help you read better.

I'm writer, filmmaker, and book devour, Mallory Omera.

And I'm Brea Grant, actress filmmaker, and e-reader.

This episode were decoding bestseller lists

and reviewing some booklights.

But first...

What are you reading, Bria?

I just finished a book called The Other Einstein by Heather Terrell.

I've actually never heard of this.

Whoa!

It just like stumped the Mallory.

It's a reading glasses first. stump the

It's a reading glasses first. It's a fictional account of the woman who was married to Einstein

whose name is Mitza Merrick,

and then I guess she became Mitz-Einstein and yeah and they met in

college which was very rare for a woman to go to college back then particularly for

physics and she was also really very smart and then basically about their relationship and man if you want to hate

Einstein you should read this book. Yeah I've heard he's kind of a but hole.

They she talks about it at the end of the book about you know know, she doesn't know everything, but there's a lot of things like he wouldn't marry her for a long time, even though she was pregnant with his baby, and then she wasn't able to finish school because she got pregnant, then she but he does credit

Einstein credits her with being better at math than him and all these sort of

things but yeah the whole book is sort of her account of their relationship, which is a very sad horrible relationship in which she starts just being a back seat to Einstein, even though she helped him with everything and then got zero credit.

It actually really bumped me out.
