From former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette contributor turned essayist comes In One Era and Out the Other, a wide-ranging collection in which the author shares her views on the way life is now, sprinkled with reminiscences about the last several decades. Few other writers can glide so easily from fashion to football to fiction without missing a beat. Covering a wide range of topics including culture, technology, politics, books, and music, Jennings expresses her views on everything from what’s happened to air travel to the search for a perfect hairstylist. Not afraid to tackle more serious topics, Jennings weighs in on racial attitudes in America and the election of Barack Obama. And when talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger lectures a black woman not to date outside her race if she can’t “take the heat,” Jennings shares her thoughts, as an African American woman married to a white man, not only with Dr. Laura but also with her readers. Jennings’s book will especially delight readers over thirty-five who have shared many of her experiences. Part memoir, part commentary, In One Era and Out the Other is a sophisticated and amusing chronology of anecdotes and opinions about events of the second half of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first century and the new millennium.

Retired keyboardist of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Jennings’ writing career began with a four-part series for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, ”Symphony Diary,” while on tour with the orchestra in Europe in 1994. That experience has evolved into nearly two decades of essays in which she shares her observations on everything from fashion to how the Internet impacts the American family. Her essays have appeared in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Symphony magazine, and various Western Pennsylvania-based publications. From 1988 to 1994 she was the publisher/editor of Symphonium, a newsletter for and about the professional African-American symphony musician.
