	EAGLETON, TERRY Literary Theory: An Introduction United States, 01 September 1983, Univ of Minnesota Pr, 1983. (ISBN: 0816612412) Paperback , 8.9 x 5.4 x 0.6 inches. Some underlining and marginalia. OTherwise clean and tight. This concise and lucid volume offers a satisfying survey of all the major theories, from structuralism in the 1960s to deconstruction today, that have made academic criticism both intriguing and off-putting to the outsider. New York Times Book Review Literary Theory has the kind of racy readability that one associates more often with English critics who have set their faces resolutely against theory. It's not just a brilliant polemical essay; it's also a remarkable feat of condensation, explication, and synthesis. Sunday Times (London) A concise guide to the most interesting and mystifying trends in the study of literature over the last fifty years. The Nation This classic work covers all of the major movements in literary studies in this century. Noted for its clear, engaging style and unpretentious treatment, Literary Theory has become the introduction of choice for anyone interested in learning about the world of contemporary literary thought. On the twenty-fifth anniversary of Literary Theory’s debut, Terry Eagleton reflects on the state of theory in academia today, the growth of antitheory (itself an interesting theoretical subject), its common-if problematic-place among survey coursework, and theory’s continued relevance to scholarly pursuits. In this contemporary, retrospective moment, as scholars critically analyze the incredibly broad impact of the theoretical movement, Literary Theory remains an essential initiation to the intellectually stimulating world of theoretical analysis. Terry Eagleton is John Edward Taylor professor of Englishliterature at the University of Manchester. His numerous books include The Meaning of Life, How to Read a Poem, and After Theory.

	EPHRON, NORA Wallflower at the Orgy United States, June 2007, Bantam, 2007. (ISBN: 0553385054) Paperback , 8 x 5.1 x 0.5 inches. From her Academy Award-nominated screenplays to her bestselling fiction and essays, Nora Ephron is one of America's most gifted, prolific, and versatile writers. In this classic collection of magazine articles, Ephron does what she does best: embrace American culture with love, cynicism, and unmatched wit. From tracking down the beginnings of the self-help movement to dressing down the fashion world's most powerful publication to capturing a glimpse of a legendary movie in the making, these timeless pieces tap into our enduring obsessions with celebrity, food, romance, clothes, entertainment, and sex. Whether casting her ingenious eye on renowned director Mike Nichols, Cosmopolitan magazine founder Helen Gurley Brown-or herself, as she chronicles her own beauty makeover-Ephron deftly weaves her journalistic skill with the intimate style of an essayist and the incomparable talent of a great storyteller.

	GIOVANNI, JANINE DI Place at the End of the World United Kingdom, 02 January 2006, Bloomsbury, 2006. (ISBN: 0747580367) Paperback , 7.6 x 5 x 1.2 inches. At the start of her career Janine di Giovanni was advised, 'Write about the small voices, the people who can't write about themselves.' For over fifteen years, she has been doing exactly that. From a near-abandoned hospital in Chechnya to bombed-out Tora Bora in Afghanistan, from Saddam Hussein's derelict palace in Baghdad to the inner-city barrios of Kingston, Jamaica, di Giovanni has covered almost every embattled place in the world and the people caught in its midst. Like Myriem, who lives on the West Bank, but can no longer use her farm because it falls on the Israeli side of the security fence; and Sia, one of the child soldiers of Sierra Leone, who talks blithely of shedding her violent past; and Abdul, who was imprisoned by the Taliban at seventeen for not wearing a beard. The pieces collected here begin with Algeria in 1998 and end with Iraq in 2005. They are vivid, raw and impassioned - and they make war terrifyingly real. Very Good.

	HARRIGAN, STEPHEN Comanche Midnight United States, January 1995, University of Texas Press, 1995. (ISBN: 0292730969) Paperback , 8 x 5 x 0.7 inches. The title and opening essay of Texan Harrigan's (A Natural State) latest collection concerns the United States' continued affronts of the Comanche tribe. These affronts, Harrigan writes, have left a proud people torn between fading traditions and increasing social responsibilities. Although Harrigan does recall some of the Comanche history, he is careful not to let the past overwhelm the immediacy of the problems faced by contemporary Comanches. Like such writers as Barry Lopez and Peter Matthiessen, Harrigan sticks to the facts, whatever poetry comes from his thorough reporting rather than from sparkling prose. ``The Bay'' details the prolonged ecological collapse of Galveston Bay, while ``The Soul of Treaty Oak'' recreates the chaos and comedy following the poisoning of Austin's celebrated centuries-old tree. In ``The Temple of Destiny,'' Harrigan examines the defeat of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, and Cortes's murderous response to Aztec ritualized human sacrifice. Harrigan's compassion for these defeated subjects is offset throughout by an overwhelming sense of wanting to piece together another portion of the historical puzzle. Writing in a state known for its enormity, Harrigan is on the side of the small men who often die victims of a history that too quickly forgets. Very Good.

	LUVEN, LYNNE VAN (EDITOR) NobodyS Mother: Life without Kids United States, October 2006, TouchWood Editions, 2006. (ISBN: 1894898400) Paperback , 7.3 x 5.4 x 0.8 inches. Look as long as you like in a dictionary, but you won't find a warm and fuzzy definition for "childless." As Canadian poet Lorna Crozier notes in Nobody's Mother, Roget's thesaurus lists 43 synonyms for her condition, including, "barren, arid, gaunt, dry, dried-up, exhausted, drained, leached, sucked dry, wasted, fruitless." But Crozier and her fellow contributors, who range in age from early 30s to mid-70s, depict lives that provide a stark contrast to this desolate description. Very Good.

Hometown and host to talents as diverse as Richard Wright, David Mamet, Maya Angelou, Saul Bellow, and Mike Royko, Chicago boasts a rich tradition of writers who have helped shape our sense of the city even as the city informs their best work. It's "a writer's town . a fighter's town," according to Nelson Algren, and this anthology proves it. With a striking new cover, Chicago Stories collects the most evocative writing on the city, its gritty realism, and indomitable spirit. Very Good.
