Let the Great World Spin (Colum McCann, Random House $15)

In the dawning light of a late-summer morning, the people of lower Manhattan stand hushed, staring up in disbelief at the Twin Towers. It is August 1974, and a mysterious tightrope walker is running, dancing, leaping between the towers, suspended a quarter mile above the ground. In the streets below, a slew of ordinary lives become extraordinary in Colum McCann’s stunningly intricate portrait of a city and its people. Winner of the 2009 National Book Award.

Description

"For manic, multi-tasking mothers everywhere! Amanda's tales will make you laugh--and remind you to enjoy this crazy journey."
--Jane Skinner, anchor, Fox News Channel "Amanda Lamb is a hard-charging, pull-no-punches veteran
television reporter. [This] is her story of the wrestling match with the
demands of motherhood, marriage, and a very busy career, told in
a way that is unabashed, honest, and frank."
--Mary P. Easley, JD, First Lady of North Carolina "A must-read for working moms. Amanda Lamb beautifully
captures the chaos that is her life as a mother and a TV journalist."
--Mika Brzezinski, MSNBC anchor/NBC News contributor With sixteen fast-read essays, Amanda Lamb touches the funny bone and eases the guilt of today's smothered mothers. All booger-wiping, shoe-tying, boo-boo-soothing women will relate to her elusive search for a "balanced" life. Amanda has a successful career as a crime reporter for WRAL-TV, Raleigh/Durham, N.C., but it's her two girls who force her to be a better person.

The Lost Books of the Odyssey (Zachary Mason, FSG $24)

I want to give an unqualified recommendation for Zachary Mason's The Lost Books of the Odyssey. The 45 brief sections are alternatives to the text of the Odyssey that supposedly were found in Egypt (needless to say, that is a fiction). The parts are a joy and the whole is both funny and moving. To enjoy it completely you need to have read the Odyssey or at least know the story.

-- George

The Postmistress

by Sarah Blake

(Putnam $25.95)

Frances (Frankie) Bard, one of Edward R. Murrow's reporters at the beginning of WWII, writes, "What I knew at the time is pieced together with the parts I couldn't have known, but imagine to be true."The stories of Frankie in London and Iris and Emma in Franklin, MA, come together as the first two are faced with a dilemma that is moral in the first instance and legal in the second. Our present time of war makes this story intensely more meaningful to us. "It gets you thinking about all the parts in a story we never see...the parts around the edges." -- John

From Jim...

THE BIBLE SALESMAN by Clyde Edgerton (Back Bay $13.99) Weaves together stories of selling Bibles, a car-theft ring, and young love. Interspersed among these, our hero wrestles with his frustrated attempts to understand the Bible. It is touted as comedy, though it didn't strike me that way.
