The Selected Letters of James Joyce 2 reviews James Joyce
Penguin / Viking, 1975
Can someone explain to me why this is out of print?
+ Quite unique and absolutely fascinating.
Unbelieveable. There is no doubting that James Joyce was one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. His contribution to modern literature is still being felt 60 years after his death. And, yet, his letters, which are as close as we will ever get to knowing what he was thinking while composing ...

Harper Perennial, 2005
GREAT BOOK

Barnes and ...

Empire Falls 476 reviews Richard Russo
Vintage, 2002
Readable
Life in a derelict New England milltown. Readable? Yes, but not mesmerizing. Hard to argue with the Pulitzer Prize, but, frankly, the characters were weak-kneed and not particularly likeable; kept hoping someone would show a little spunk but it didn't happen.
