(P/B) INTERPRETING LAW AND LITERATURE
"Contemporary theory has usefully analyzed how alternative modes of interpretation produce different meanings, how reading itself is constituted by the variable perspectives of readers, and how these perspectives are in turn defined by prejudices, ideologies, interests, and so forth. Some theorists have argued persuasively that textual meaning, in literature and in literary interpretation, is structured by repression and forgetting, by what the literary or critical text does not say as much as by what it does. All these claims are directly...

(H/B) FABULOUS ORIENTS
Narrative moves. Stories migrate from one culture to another, over vast distances sometimes, but their path is often difficult to trace and obscured by time. Fabulous Orients looks at the traffic of narrative between Orient and Occident in the eighteenth century, and challenges the assumption that has dominated since the publication of Edward Said's Orientalism (1978) that such traffic is always one-way. Eighteenth-century readers in the West came to draw their mental maps of oriental territories and distinctions between them from their ex...

(P/B) PERUVIAN TRADITIONS

As head of the National Library in Lima, Palma had access to a rich source of historical journals and records. His historical miscellanies, which he called "traditions," are witty anecdotes about conquerors, viceroys, corrupt and lovelorn friars, tragic loves and notorious characters. (From the publisher)...

(H/B) LUNAR PARK
The author of American Psycho rips into his most frightening subject yet: himself. He became a bestselling novelist while still in college, immediately famous and wealthy. He watched his insufferable father reduced to a bag of ashes in a safety-deposit box. He was lost in a haze of booze, drugs and vilification. Then he was given a second chance. This is the life of Bret Easton Ellis, the subject of this remarkable novel. Confounding one expectation after another, Lunar Park is equally hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking. It's the most...

(H/B) PROUST, BECKETT, AND NARRATION
This a comprehensive comparison of the narrative techniques of two of the twentieth century's most important writers of prose. Using a combination of theoretical analysis and close readings of Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu and Beckett's trilogy of novels, Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable, James H. Reid compares the two novelists' use of first-person narration in constructing and demystifying fictions of consciousness. Reid focuses on the narrator's search to represent the voice that speaks the novel, a search, he argues, tha...

(P/B) THE COMPLETE TALES IN VERSE
Generations of children have been brought up on La Fontaine's Fables. Only an absent-minded or perversely liberal parent, however, would leave the same author's Contes et nouvelles en vers lying around the nursery. The first volume was published three years before the Fables started to appear. They were the fruit of his wicked delight in the tales he found in Boccacio's Decameron, Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, Rabelais and elsewhere. Marital misdemean-ours, resourceful females and addled males, inspire some richly inventive plotting. He retol...

Taking for her subject our human planet, or what Robert Lowell called 'this sweet volcanic cone', Alice Oswald has chosen 101 poems which map the border between the personal and natural worlds - from work poems at one end of the scale (songs for lowering anchors, or for cutting cotton) to metamorphic poems in which the human has crossed entirely over into the non-human. In between, there are vivid portraits of the intermediate state in which most of us spend our lives. Including poems by William Barnes, Robert Frost, John Clare, Gerard Man...
