The -Abstinence Teacher
Tom Perrotta
St. Martin's Griffin
"As formulaic as this plot might sound, Mr. Perrotta uses it not to construct a conventional screwball romance but to create a sad-funny-touching story that looks at the frustrations and perils of life in suburbia through darkly tinted, not rose-colored glasses."—

2666
A Novel
Roberto Bolaño
Picador
"Bolaño was a difficult, angry, self-reflexive writer who lived an erratic and occasionally unpleasant life. And Americans, as the head of the Swedish Academy has annoyingly but rightly pointed out, don't read much fiction in translation anyway. But when the first of Bolaño's major novels,
The Savage Detectives
, a massive, bizarre epic about a band of avant-garde Mexican poets, was published in the U.S. last year, it instantly became a cult hit among readers and practically a fetish object to critics. Bolaño's second (and last) major novel is titled
2666
, and if anything, it is even more massive and more bizarre. It is also a masterpiece, the electrifying literary event of the year."—

Abnormal
Lectures at the Collège de France, 1974-1975
Lectures at the Collège de France
Michel Foucault; Translated by Graham Burchell; English Series Editor: Arnold I. Davidson
Picador
"The importance of these lectures is that they are directly connected with two of Foucault's greatest books,
Discipline and Punish and The History of Sexuality: An Introduction
. Because they are clear and to the point, the lectures throw considerable light on the more difficult ideas and passages of their related published works . . . [
Abnormal
] looks at a set of what Foucault believed to be defining criminal cases of how the West has constituted and reconstituted what is normal and not normal behavior."—

"Unfailingly modern: swift, cinematic, sexually explicit, and ravishingly beautiful. This poetic masterpiece, a psychologically acute portrait of the Homeric hero Achilles . . . imbues [Homer] with a post-Freudian emotional sensibility, focusing more on the nuances of individual motivation than on the grandeur of the action."—

After This
A Novel
Alice McDermott
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Pulitzer Prize Finalist
"Ms. McDermott gives us an affecting meditation on the consolations and discontents of family life—the centripetal and centrifugal forces that bind husbands and wives, parents and children together and fling them ineluctably apart . . . [She] has returned to the territory she knows best: the family (specifically, the Irish middle-class family, around the 1960's). And her easy authority with this material, combined with her clear-eyed sympathy for her characters, results in a moving, old-fashioned story about longing and loss and sorrow."—

Against Happiness
In Praise of Melancholy
Eric G. Wilson
Sarah Crichton Books
"Mr. Wilson's basic thesis is that, without suffering, the human soul becomes stagnant and empty . . . We must live between the poles of sadness and joy and not try to expunge misery from our lives. Mr. Wilson makes a strong case . . . to deny our essential sadness in the face of a tragic world is to suppress a large part of what we are as human beings."—
