Excellent novel by young writer Munoz - he pulls apart the shower scene from "Psycho" in a way that gives a new appreciation for Hitchcock (no small feat) and for the possibilities of noir. Highly recommended.
Short stories crafted in a traditional, never-mind-the-postmodern straightforward way. The novella deals with a writer who pushes too far in mining his own life for material. A great first collection.
This is absolutely the best gift you could buy for the "Lebowski" loving family member or friend. The range of these essays is vast, fully exploring every nook and cranny of the Dude's world.

"Slightly obsessive" but wholly fascinating. A welcome look into the history of an important and controversial book. The insights into the relationship between Strunk and White are great.
Whether or not the film adaptation floats your boat, this new edition of Yates's "Revolutionary Road," "The Easter Parade," and "Eleven Kinds of Loneliness" brings together some of his best work in one nice-looking edition. And some of the best work of Yates is some of the best, period.
