Nav PurewalReviews BooksSigned, Mata Hari by Yannick Murphy[14.Apr.08] :. The ability of fiction to evoke empathy and seek emotional truth transcends mere historical details, and it is these things that Yannick Murphy does so well in her new novel. PopMatters Pick BooksFieldwork by Mischa Berlinski[27.Mar.08] :. This is clearly the work of a superior intellect, but one that doesn’t shy away from juicy plot twists or exciting set pieces, fashioning a story that thrills without condescension. PopMatters Pick BooksThe Gathering by Anne Enright[6.Mar.08] :. A multigenerational saga that never sacrifices intimacy for affected grandeur, a domestic novel that feels limitless in scope, and a family tragedy that affirms the very life it laments.  BooksThe Best Game Ever by Jim Reisler[6.Feb.08] :. When Reisler focuses on the game itself, his knack for storytelling takes over, and he convincingly recreates the sights and sounds of October 13, 1960. Featured Article BooksThe Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby[8.Jan.08] :. Economical and considered out of necessity, this is so meticulously crafted that there isn’t a wasted passage or a superfluous phrase. |
