The Fixer: A Novel
Bernard Malamud

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2004

our modern selves
malamud is an excellent writer. he stoicly captures something that is undefined, but really reflects for me suburban life in jersey and nyc in the sixties (even though this is a book about russia). i liked this book for the humanity it places on the face of suffering ...
  
  











  



  
The Future Dictionary of America

Common Assets Action Fund, 2005

Hopeful
This book is a positive contribution to our current state of disunion in the United States. Yes, there are entries that look back at the Shrub administration with contempt, but others look at a positive future where we overcame the myopia, nepotism, and greed of the ...

Nick Hornby, Neil Gaiman, ...

McSweeney's, 2005

sweet
The general impression is that it's a collection of stories that the authors would have like to read when they were kids. Some of them may be scary to the announced age group (4-7) but most are just sweet. For the adult many of them will remind the reader how it was to ...
