New York Times Book Review
- Stephen King’s Glass MenagerieWhen an enormous transparent dome settles over a small town in Maine in Stephen King’s new novel, it’s just fine with Big Jim, the local tyrant-in-waiting, and his pet goon squad.
- The Critic’s CriticA valuable new biography of Samuel Johnson, the most eminent of all literary critics.
- Barbara Kingsolver’s Artists and IdolsThis novel, about a boy’s consequential bonds with Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and Leon Trotsky, is a call to conscience and connection.
- Animal PlanetAmy Gerstler’s poems — skillful in every kind of comedy, yet deeply serious — show a fondness for animals without sentimentalizing them.
- Happy DaysAn argument that can-do optimism has hardened into a suffocating force that bears little relation to genuine happiness.
