RSS New York Times Book Review

  • The Pop Art Era
    James Rosenquist writes about growing up to be a painter, while other authors dissect the Warhol phenomenon afresh.
  • John Ashbery, Toying With Words
    The 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 Terror
    This 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 Mind
    A dogged portrait of an eccentric Russian mathematician who solved a famously unsolved problem, then dropped out.
  • Twilight of the Ice Bear
    A digest of the history of human-polar bear relations, a pretty shameful record even before global warming.
