		<description><![CDATA[It is dumbfounding that Ariel Dorfman is not more widely read, as his writing is so remarkably trenchant and unafraid. The exiled Chilean novelist, short story writer, playwright, poet, and essayist has been teaching at Duke University since 1985. His works are direct, compelling, and often characterized by a looming intensity or immediacy. Dorfman is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dylan Dog does a great job of rolling up elements of the macabre, humor, and romantacism into one classic Italian comic book rich with cinematic undertones. Dylan himself is based on Rupert Everett, while his comedic sidekick is a Groucho Marx impersonator. Once I picked this up I was hooked. Unfortunately, only seven stories have [...]]]></description>
