1.The Indian Clerk: A NovelThe Indian Clerk: A Novel
from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
The writing flows smoothly, on and on and on. Maybe, with some heavy editing, cutting the length by half, this book would be worth the effort to read it. It seems to have very little "point" to it. Endless salon chatter. Maybe the history of England during that time is enough for some people. As... more info

2.The Lost Language of Cranes: A NovelThe Lost Language of Cranes: A Novel
from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
I read this book for a class, and enjoyed it much more than I ever expected, especially in retrospect.

4.Florence: A Delicate Case (Writer and the City)Florence: A Delicate Case (Writer and the City)
from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $12.71

Customer Review:
The Writer and the City books are supposed to be idiosyncratic, and I greatly liked Edmund White's quirky but useful volume on Paris. However, with his "Florence, A Delicate Case," David Leavitt firmly crosses the line between idiosyncrasy and self-indulgence. His third chapter--40 pages of a book... more info

from NYRB Classics
Price: $11.66

Customer Review:
in the claustrophobic, despair-tinged encounter of gentle greek wisdom with nazi ideology, i was gripped by the immediacy of the events. the two tone cover of the modern book recaptures its initial urgent printing post-war on cheap paper. the war is still on between ideology and civilisation: a war... more info
