FRIDAY'S "FORGOTTEN" BOOKS AND MORE: the links to reviews and related texts; 4 September 2020

The past week's and a few more books and other literature, unfairly (or sometimes fairly) neglected, or simply those the reviewers below think you might find of some interest (or, infrequently, you should be warned away from); certainly, most weeks we have a few not at all forgotten titles...if I've missed your review or someone else's, please let me know in comments.
