Fado by Andrzej StasiukMoving back and forth through memory and time, these essays act like a vehicle moving through historical, mental and natural landscapes. [9 November 2009] 
Prisoner of the State by Zhao ZiyangThis is an excellent history lesson that should be impressed upon one's mind, much like the famous image of a solitary man standing in front of a line of tanks at Tiananmen Square. [16 July 2009] 
Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1964 by Susan SontagSontag's journals suggest that the self is a conditional and transitory creation; elusive and slippery as an artful lover who wants to be a writer. [6 March 2009] 
Cleopatra’s Nose by Judith ThurmanThurman has the talent all gifted literary critics share, that is, an ability to combine the vivid and sensual with the hardheaded demands of the intellect. [30 January 2009] 
The Best of Sexology, ed. Craig YoeIn1933 Gernsback published a pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-scientific magazine devoted to sex and all its mysteries, vagaries, varieties -- not to mention all its anxieties. [16 December 2008] 
The Brenner Assignment by Patrick K. O’DonnellO'Donnell is more interested in telling a good story rather than placing the story in the wider context of OSS operations or of the Italian campaign in general. [4 December 2008] 
Beirut 1991 by Gabriele BasilicoThese photographs do not seek to praise the mutilated city, but to express a consciousness of the collective agony of self-destruction. [27 October 2008] 
The Same Man by David LebedoffOrwell and Waugh’s discomfort with modernity and opposition to totalitarianism does not make them moral writers, but it does make them political writers and social critics [16 September 2008] 
Weird Indiana: by Mark MarimenThese stories leave the reader in a stupor, much like that induced by a long drive on the interstate through mile after mile of Indiana cornfields, as far as the eye can see. [15 August 2008] |
