The Flash of Lightning Behind the Mountain: New Poems
The Flash of Lightning Behind the Mountain contains a collection set aside by Charles Bukowski to be published, yet there are no grand revelations into the life and times of the author to be discovered within

Around the Bloc: My Life in Moscow, Beijing, and Havana
Armchair travelers have rarely had it so good as they do with Texas native Griest's memoir, which reads like one part informative history lesson on the People's Revolutionary struggle and one part Hope 'n' Crosby road movie.

The Maze
In this novel, Karnezis' ingenious, although ambiguous, framing device consists of repressing any sight or sound of the Turkish enemy as he describes the abbreviated anabasis of one Greek brigade in the Anatolian hinterlands.

Signal Hill: Stories
The characters that inhabit the four short stories and a novella in Alan Rifkin's slim volume are all strikingly out of place and emotionally disconnected.
Dec. 26, 2003 Books Review by Jay Trachtenberg
Stories From Another World
Because the jacket of Sheila Kohler's new collection of short stories bears warm endorsements from Amy Tan and J.M. Coetzee, her fellow South African native and recent winner of the Nobel Prize, it has a lot to live up to.

The Invasion Handbook
Paulin has been publishing good poetry for more than 25 years, but the rest of his background -- as a scholar of literature, as an essayist, and as a deeply political writer -- serves him well as he journeys across a large physical and mental landscape of rich historical and literary allusion.

Goya
Robert Hughes' description of Goya is tinged, unconsciously, with the image he himself presents to the public: the art critic as macho, for whom the acuteness of response to the occasions of sensibility becomes one of the fine tests of masculinity.

The doctor, a large, hulking fellow with fingers more like the digits of some great ape and a persistent cough -- brought about, he'd informed me, by a leech-gathering mission assayed -- or braved! -- in the darker region of night but two weeks previous -- frowned as he relayed his diagnosis.

Shipwreck
Louis Begley recently wrote a glowing preface to a reissue of The Other House, James' least known novel. Begley is one of the few fans of the book, and writes that "James makes manifest in this very remarkable novel the overpowering force and ignominy of the sexual drive." Obviously Begley is after something like that here. But if this was the inspiration, it was not a fortunate one.

Memoirs of Vidocq: Master of Crime
Almost 150 years after the death of François Eugène Vidocq, criminal investigators of all stripes still follow his basic methods of detection. Likewise, all manner of thieves and con artists follow in his footsteps, and that includes writers, too.
