    Break, Blow, Burn: Camille Paglia Reads Forty-three of the World's Best Poems (Pantheon)

    The Pacific and Other Stories (Penguin)

    Mark Helprin's critics--who mainly regard him as a political conservative and, therefore, a traitor to imaginative literature--have made him into a martyr. Here, he fends off the slings and arrows to say what he believes a writer to be, and describes the values he wants his work to embrace.

    Dave Eggers Feb 10, 2005
    Show notes

    How We Are Hungry: Stories (McSweeney-s) Dave Eggers begins by describing his book as an object (it-s designed to look like a Moleskine Journal).
