Eight stories told with the same precise sense for human relations that distinguished the author's Pulitzer Prize collection, Interpreter of Maladies. The individual stories are beautifully developed, giving the reader an opportunity to form an attachment to her vital, flesh and blood characters that is rare in this type of fiction. Although she often weaves an element of different--and sometimes conflicting-- cultures into her work, Ms. Lahiri's prose transcends any borders and her gift for creating spellbinding tales out of life's small vagaries is boundless. ~ Reviewed by Alden Graves

A woman, upon learning that Stonewall Jackson has been killed, tells her 14-year-old son to find his father and bring him home from the Civil War. After a perilous journey, the boy finds the man grievously wounded on the bloody fields at Gettysburg. Unforgettable tableaux of devotion, courage, and stark horror. The story is a simple one, but its reverberations are as timeless as the winds. Gripping reading, although this novel is not for the squeamish. ~ Reviewed by Alden Graves

Definitive study of the Master of Suspense refreshingly told without the usual cloud of adulation that hangs over studies of Alfred Hitchcock like a thunderhead over a picnic. The book has been gathered from interviews with Hitch conducted by the great French director, Francois Truffaut. Hitchcock is candid about his failures, remorseful of his mistakes, and admirably humble about being one of the undisputed giants in cinema history. Truffaut's questions are pointed, respectful, and informed without ever lapsing into fawning. Illustrated with many photos from Hitchcock's fifty-three films. ~ Reviewed by Alden Graves
