New York Times Book Review
- The Pop Art EraJames Rosenquist writes about growing up to be a painter, while other authors dissect the Warhol phenomenon afresh.
- John Ashbery, Toying With WordsThe master of sinuous syntax has performed surgery in this collection, often bringing his poems into the wry epigrammatic domain of Dickinson.
- George Packer, Chronicler of the Age of TerrorThis book of essays from the Bush-era coheres better than most in the genre because of George Packer’s unusually coherent worldview.
- Grigori Perelman’s Beautiful MindA dogged portrait of an eccentric Russian mathematician who solved a famously unsolved problem, then dropped out.
- Twilight of the Ice BearA digest of the history of human-polar bear relations, a pretty shameful record even before global warming.
