Kirkus: This dark, witty, if slightly overstructured comedy about deceptive appearances evolves into a moving examination of intimacy's limitations

World War II writings

A J Liebling. A collection of World War II accounts by the influential journalist and author includes "The Road Back to Paris," "Mollie and Other War Pieces," and "Normandy Revisited," in a volume that also features twenty-nine previously uncollected New Yorker articles.

Gay lawyer

Another romantic comedy from the always clever Lipman: Kirkus.

A rich vision of the pain, loveliness, mystery, and promise of New York City in the 1970s.

Love and humor

Dylan + Mingus

Their friendship compromised by the belief systems of the racially charged 1970s, Dylan Ebdus and Mungus Rude share a series of misadventures based on their mutual obsession with comic book heroes.

Mixed reviews.

Terror

Booklist: The leads are witty, and the prose is elegant. But readers should prepare to wallow in the book and take it slowly.

Kirkus:  Adding political and financial corruption to uncover, manipulators to expose and a war with Mexico to prevent might make the plot seem too complex, but no loose end is left untied, and only one or two insignificant anachronisms should trouble the most sophisticated reader. An intriguing literary mystery mixing fact and fiction.

Go figure.

Living on the black

"Seasoned pitchers Tom Glavine and Mike Mussina ... experience very different seasons---one on a team dealing with the pressure to get to a World Series for the first time in seven years, the other with a team expected to be there every year. Taking the reader through contract negotiations, spring training, the ups of wins and the downs of losses, and the people in their lives---family, managers, pitching coaches, agents, catchers, other pitchers---Feinstein provides a true insider's look at the pressure cooker of sports at the highest level" -- from publisher's web site.
