Bill Joy’s 20,000 word non-fiction essay, "Why the Future Doesn’t Need Us" (Wired) Jack Beatty’s essay response, "Be Afraid" (Atlantic Unbound) Mark Strand’s poem, "A Piece of the Storm" (Bold Type) 
Baxter, Charles: The Feast of Love (Pantheon Books). An original, masterful novel written in vignettes. "Rich, strange, alive with the miracles of daily life, this novel is a banquet for the soul… Truly, this is a novel in which the unexpected is always upon us." --Andrea Barrett, author of Ship Fever Bender, Aimee: An Invisible Sign of My Own (Doubleday). Read her interview on Pif. Earley, Tony: Jim the Boy (Little Brown and Co.). Debut novel from the author of Here We Are in Paradise: Stories. One of my favorite Southerner writers. Tony’s provocative essays can be found in The New Yorker and The Oxford American. Grossman, David and Laurie Bauman Arnold: Freddi Fish the Big Froople Match (Humongous Entertainment). Not anticipated as a critical success, but this small children’s book is a must have for all Grossman fans. It is one of six books to be published together by these authors. Lessing, Doris: Ben, in the World : The Sequel to The Fifth Child (Harpercollins). Her earlier novel, The Fifth Child, was called "a horror story of maternity and the nightmare of social collapse . . . a moral fable of the genre that includes Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and George Orwell’s 1984" (The New York Times). Lish, Gordon: Krupp’s Lulu (Four Walls and Eight Windows). Possibly his last collection of stories. Includes stunning pieces like, "How the Sophist Got Spotted." Moore, Lorrie (ed.): I Know Some Things : Stories About Childhood by Contemporary Writers (Faber & Faber). Prose, Francine: Blue Angel (HarperCollins). Check out the latest from the award-winning author of Guided Tours of Hell: Novellas, Bigfoot Dreams, and Household Saints. Rucker, Rudy: Gnarl! (Four Walls Eight Windows). These science fiction stories blend Kafka-esque humor, the "pseudo-memoir," and cutting edge yet perverse physics. Ruppersburg, Hugh M. (ed.) and Tim Engles (ed.): Critical Essays on Don Delillo (Critical Essays on American Literature). I haven’t read this one yet, but this collection of interpretative and critical essays is expected to be outstanding. Tell us what you think.
