The Big Bow Mystery 3 reviews Israel Zangwill
Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2007
Historically significant and a great read
The fact that the mystery disappears after the second chapter in no way detracts from the joy of this book. From widowed boarding house attendants to freeloading artists to a detective that might as well be the anti-Sherlock Holmes, this is one of the funniest and meanest books to come out of the ...

Harvest/HBJ Book, 1970
A coherent extension of the first volume
+ Anais is always searching
Anais Nin began a letter to her father, on the ship that carried her, her mother and brothers, away from him, away from Europe and to New York City. She was 11 at the time. The letter was never sent (her mother did not think it appropriate), but instead developed into a diary that would become ...

The Seven Who Fled 2 reviews Frederic Prokosch
Farrar Straus Giroux, 1984
A worthy follow-up to _The Asiatics_
+ What Harlan Ellison has said about this novel...
Frederic Prokosch is the author I would most wish to save from what Gore Vidal has called "time's winged wastebasket." Born in 1908, his career extended from the early 1930's to the 1980's. He combines an extraordinary talent for description and a lush romantic prose style that never crosses the ...

From the Dust Returned 52 reviews Ray Bradbury
Avon, 2002
Pure poetry!
+ A valuable addition to his works + An insane rolicking ride
This is the first Ray Bradbury book i've read. *cringes* But it was the most beautiful story i've heard in a long time. Mr. Bradbury knows how to paint the most vivid pictures in ones mind with his words. The dream-like atmosphere is enough to lull one into a mind-set where truly, a family such as ...
