How the Right Went Wrong
Conservatism has ruined America. Who says? The executive editor of the New Republic, J. Peter Scoblic. In his book "U.S. vs Them" he makes the argument that half a century of American conservatism, from William F. Buckley Jr. to George W. Bush, has left the country weaker, less safe, more isolated, and increasingly vulnerable to the very "evil" the Bush administration warns of.
Cut Me Some Slack(er) Lit
Three young men not long out of college discover that it's tougher than they thought to carve out careers, relationships, and a life, in Keith Gessen's debut novel "All the Sad Young Literary Men." In what Jonathan Yardley of the Washington Post called "a considerably better-than-average exercise in slacker fiction," Mark, Sam and Keith work to liberate their inner intellectuals, while staying in step with the larger world.
Debut Brilliance
A young man and an old man, each from New York and each on a quest, both end up in Italy in the debut novel by Nathaniel Rich, "The Mayor's Tongue." Not just anywhere in Italy, mind you, but a particular, borderlands region of northern Italy, where the normal definitions of reality don't always seem to fit just right. It's a mosaic of love, madness, and language.
