Mornings Endless and New, Norman Mailer

In this science-fiction sequel of sorts to the New York Times bestseller, Ancient Evenings, Mailer does for the far future what he did for the distant past, and brings to life a universe in which humanity has left its bodies behind to live as beings of pure energy in the magnetosphere of the sun.

Return to Dhalgren, Samuel R. Delany

More than twenty years after the publication of his breakthrough novel, Delany brings his most famous literary creation, the poet/wanderer known variously as Kidd or Kid, back to the city of Bellona. In a conceptual tour-de- force, the text of the new volume is absolutely identical to that of the old; yet the changed title adds a profound new dimension to every line. Riveting. One can only hope that Delany doesn’t wait another twenty-plus years before his next visit to Bellona!

Tolnedran Tales, David Eddings

The best-selling author’s first collection of short fiction, each a finely honed gem of devastatingly observed and obsessively chiseled writing in the manner of his acknowledged master, Raymond Carver.

Tumbling After, Paul Witcover

The author’s long-awaited second novel.

Finnegan’s Wake, Version 1.01, James Joyce and Brute Force

Who would have thought that running Joyce’s masterpiece of willful obscurity through the anagram detection software program known as “Brute Force” would yield this bodice-ripping yarn of love lost and regained on the high seas in the era of the Barbary pirates? “Buckle my swashes, it’s brilliant! Reads like a collaboration between Margaret Mitchell and Patrick O’Brien. Joyce would stand up and cheer!”—People Magazine
