Taped ID heel of spine.Synopsis: The story opens in 1906 in New Rochelle, New York, at the home of an affluent American family. One lazy Sunday afternoon, the famous escape artist Harry Houdini swerves his car into a telephone pole outside their house. And almost magically, the line between fantasy and historical fact, between real and imaginary characters, disappears. Henry Ford, Emma Goldman, J. P. Morgan, Evelyn Nesbit, Sigmund Freud, and Emiliano Zapata slip in and out of the tale, crossing paths with Doctorow's imagined family and other fictional characters, including an immigrant peddler and a ragtime musician from Harlem whose insistence on a point of justice drives him to revolutionary violence.

Stephen L. Carter's thrilling new novel takes as its starting point an alternate history: President Abraham Lincoln survives the assassination attempt at Ford's Theater on April 14, 1865. Two years later he is charged with overstepping his constitutional authority, both during and after the Civil War, and faces an impeachment trial . . . Twenty-one-year-old Abigail Canner is a young black woman with a degree from Oberlin, a letter of employment from the law firm that has undertaken Lincoln's defense, and the iron-strong conviction, learned from her late mother, that whatever limitations society might place on ordinary Negroes, they would never apply to her. And so Abigail embarks on a life that defies the norms of every stratum of Washington society: working side by side with a white clerk, meeting the great and… Read More

Interesting and procative. LaCapra addressed issues that are of central concern to modern literary theory. He followes recent French Theorists, such as Derrida, Foucault, Kristeva and LaCan in suggest that among the most crucial issues raised by the novel and its reception are the relations of the novel's subversive impetus to an indeterminacy of narrative voice, and the way in which the problem of the narrative subject, itself, has a broader political and ideological dimensions. Nineteenth century French Studies
In 1857, following the publication of Madame Bovary, Flaubert was charged with having committed an "outrage to public morality and religion." Dominick LaCapra, an intellectual historian with wide-ranging literary interests, here examines this remarkable trial. LaCapra draws on material from Flaubert's correspondence, the work of literary critics, and Jean-Paul Sartre's analysis of Flaubert. LaCapra maintains that Madame… Read More

Holding her lovely head high, Wyoming schoolmistress Caroline Chalmers did what no lady should: she marched right into the local saloon to see the dashing and reckless Guthrie Hayes. Worse still, she went to ask him for help. She needed the former Confederate raider to plan a jailbreak to rescue her fiancé, Seaton Flynn, from the hangman's noose. An orphan by spinster sisters, Caroline was prepared do almost anything to save her beloved Seaton. So why did her breath suddenly become a shivery sigh when she looked into Hayes's twinkling green eyes? Too late Caroline knew how perilous her request really was, for this strong and daring ex-soldier would refuse her nothing no matter how dangerous, but first he intended to teach her everything about the power of a man's love, beginning with a shameless odyssey to ecstasy in his arms.

KIRKUS REVIEW: Fifteen largely disappointing essays--sketchy, obvious, unchallenging--by the author of Up Against the Fourth Wall and Astonish Me. About half of the pieces can be tied in to an overall theme: "the restless emptiness of American individualism." Thus, Stephen Sondheim's spiritually bankrupt musicals are "chronicles in song of the society's growing decrepitude." (The specific criticisms here are valid but familiar; the socio-cultural generalizations--considering the relatively tiny Sondheim audience--seem foolish.) Likewise, Woody Allen's "conservative self-absorption is typical of his times""; Walt Whitman's "emotional imperialism" is seen--arguably yet simplistically--as the precursor of the Me Generation's narcissism. And there's a heavy-handed piece of mosaic/reportage on complacent,… Read More
