NEW IN PAPERBACK....

THE BELIEVERS (Zoe Heller, HarperCollins $14.99)

"Set in New York City in 2002, with the terror of September 11th still fresh and the confrontation with Iraq starting to take shape, this searing comic novel takes on hypocrisy of all kindschild. As with Heller’s previous novel, “What Was She Thinking?,” no one is entirely likable. Heller’s talent lies in the way she illuminates her characters, often with dazzling insight, without making excuses or offering redemption."

-- New Yorker

.......................................................

WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED: THE AMAZING JOURNEY OF AMERICAN WOMEN FROM 1960 TO THE PRESENT by Gail Collins (Little Brown $27.99) is a stroll down memory lane for us "feminists of a certain age". Younger women will understand the urgency of continuing to fight for the advantages women have. Those struggles were hard-fought and they are under constant threat of being diminished or taken away. In the current health insurance reform debate, women are the only segment of American society that are singled out to have benefits taken away. Complacency is not an option.

THE AGE OF WONDER

by Richard Holmes (Random House $40) may cause you to revisit the romantic poets – Coleridge, Keats, Shelly, Wordsworth – and to consider their interaction with William Herschel, Joseph Banks, Humphrey Davies and the other influential scientists of the period. It is beautifully illustrated. It also is challenging for the average reader.
