A Walker in the City
Written by David
by Alfred Kazin (Harvest Books, $14.00)
A highly original and beautifully written account of growing up in 1930's New York. This is one of the best books I've read in the past few months and is an outstanding example of how pleasurable memoirs can be. Different than, but of the same caliber as V. Nabokov's Speak Memory.
Madapple
Written by Katie
by Christina Meldrum (Knopf Books for Young Readers, $16.99)
An engrossing tale that jumps back and forth between a courtroom drama that only slowly explains itself and a first-person narrative that is, at times, very suspect. Whose perception can you trust?
A Fraction of the Whole
Written by Erin
by Steve Toltz (Spiegel & Grau, $14.95)
Wow! This debut novel overflows with a rare vivaciousness, and an equally rare display of truly masterful storytelling. Sometimes madcap, sometimes melancholy, sometimes downright misanthropic -- but always brilliant.
