William Gaddis 4.2
Absurdly logical, mercilessly real, gathering its own tumultuous momentum for the ultimate brush with commodity trading when the drop in pork belly futures masks the crumbling of our own, J R captures the reader in the cacophony of voices that revolves around this young captive of his own myths -- voices that dominate the book, talking to each other, at each other, into phones, on intercoms, from TV screens and radios -- a vast mosaic of sound that sweeps the reader into the relentless "real time" of spoken words in a way unprecedented in modern fiction. The disturbing clarity with which this finished writer captures the ways in which we deal, dissemble, stumble through our words -- through our lives -- while the real plans are being made elsewhere makes J R the extraordinary novel that it is.
Сол Беллоу 3.9
Классический роман Сола Беллоу, принесший ему Пулитцеровскую премию.
Книга, которую сам автор называл изящно и просто - "смешная история о смерти".
Блистательная "черная комедия" о сложных отношениях, связавших великого поэта-саморазрушителя, преуспевающего литератора и циничного, умного мафиози.
В этом романе увлекательный сюжет соседствует с гениальными размышлениями о смысле и сути искусства, трагедия - с остроумной сатирой, а классический стиль - с элементами постмодернизма.

These vibrant short stories are about the lives of Jewish families in New York in the mid-twentieth century. But, in Kaplan's vision, everyday life, with its complexity, disorder, and comic subtleties can never obscure a deeper reality. Her sharp-eyed, quirky children and adults are haunted by history, both individual and collective.

Other People's Lives won the Jewish Book Award, and the Ernest Hemingway-PEN Prize in 1976.
Vladimir Nabokov 0.0
Tyrants Destroyed and Other Stories, is a collection of 13 short stories by Vladimir Nabokov written between 1924 and 1939. The first 12 stories were written while the author was living abroad in Berlin, Paris and Menton. (Originally from Saint Petersburg the Nabokov family emigrated in exil to Europe in 1919 following the Russian Revolutions of 1917).

The thirteenth story alone was composed originally in English (written in Ithaca Up-state New York 1951). The other titles in the collection have been translated into English by Dmitri Nabokov in collaboration with the author.

Nominated for several major awards and said by many to be one of the greatest novels of the century, Woiwode's epic is the story of four generations of the Neumiller family. "Nothing more beautiful and moving has been written in years". -- New York Times Book Review

David Brion Davis's books on the history of slavery reflect some of the most distinguished and influential thinking on the subject to appear in the past generation. The Problem of Slavery in the Age of Revolution, the sequel to Davis's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Problem of Slavery in Western Culture and the second volume of a proposed trilogy, is a truly monumental work of historical scholarship that first appeared in 1975 to critical acclaim both academic and literary. This reprint of that important work includes a new preface by the author, in which he situates the book's argument within the historiographic debates of the last two decades.
